Original factory LeMans blue, applied 55 years ago (early build ‘69).





Front end is so awesomely big it won’t fit in the frame! In my garage after doing a multi-day soak of Meguiars -#7 and then a 3+ detail for Vette Fest. There’s clean and there’s Vette Fest clean!

Worth it! Original factory paint looked great!

Original paint for me too Coronette....there's just something about "Corvette" blue. It ages well...

Great thread! There’s nothing else like the front end of a C3 Corvette!

The only front end view of a C3 that’s better than these is what we see from the driver’s seat!
