Shoot...Any C3 is the most "unique." There really weren't any cars like it before, during and still to this day. It is one "unique" looking car.

I think that's why people either love them or hate them. They are a very bold design, still, to this day.

I don't know... I might be partial to the 68. But I really think it is the most unique, with all of the one year only parts: ignition key on the dash, thumb button on the door, cross flags instead of engine data plate in the center console, last year for the 327, and the list goes on...

The 72. Last chrome bumper, nice but subtle flairs and the amber turn signals in front give it a better front profile. It was a minor thing but made a noticable difference in the look of the car. 70 for raw power!!
