Default Interesting colour match

These shots roll across my screen saver once in a while. I saw them tonight and thought I'd share them with you.

I took these two summers ago at a cruise night.
People in the crowd that night was amazed at how close car colours can be generations apart.

My vette colour code is 953 - Metallic Yellow.

Sorry I don't know the code of the Prowler.

They look great together. The C3 corvette was the most impractical American car ever made... until the Prowler!

Hi Ian,
NICE PICTURES!!!
I'll bet that driving your 73 warms your heart in a way the owner of the Prowler never feels.
PRETTY cold in Michigan...I looked a little while ago and saw 5 degrees in Manistee. Probably even colder in your garage?
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan,

Right now its 18C inside my garage and -28C outside.

I took my sled for a little rip down the street today at -24C. The cold air makes it fly!
