All C3's are just great, I like every one!
But, my favorite is the red headed step child 68, with the dash ignition key switch, "we forgot" to put Stingray emblem on the fenders, back up lights, and my favorite; the one off push button door that is fun to watch the young gal at the inspection station try to open!

The view from the inside matters too, and while the view over the hood is about the same, but I prefer the glovebox, clamshell seats, and big rear window. I like my 80, but I vote for the 1979, in black.

1969 for the chrome and 82 CE for the urethanes.....slight preference for the CE because it's the 'smoothest'.
no chrome baby!

Yes , the 73 are really... strange . A mix of 72 and 74
