Last year for Orange?

Had an Orange 74-77 behind me this morning. I didn't get a good look to ID it. What was the last year for orange?

From what I could find here http://www.internetservicesco.com/co...istory/c3s.htm
I believe '77 was. :confused: . It's a different shade from '75-'76 though.

Don't understand why they don't bring it back! As they say "absence makes the heart grow fonder!" :cool: :cool:

Someone in the C5 section posted an orange C5 that apparantely had been photoshopped to get the color. I loved it. The general concensus over there was "yuck" though. Go figure.

Re: Last year for Orange? (ddecart)

Orange has always been my favorite color--and not just for Corvettes. I think an orange C5 would be really nice. Except for that Godawful flat rear end treatment. Sorry, but that part of C5 has definitely not grown on me like I thought it would. No offense intended...
