I voted for the chrome bumper coupe. I meant to vote for the verts. I need to read all the choices first before I vote.

Re: What's your favorite style C3? (GrandSportC3)
Well, I voted for a 74 Vert, IMAGINE THAT!
But I love all 69's and Jay (groovy) has certainly helped me to appreciate the 78/79 style.
Actually, any Vette from 56 - 82 are just beautiful. Not a fan of the C4 until 88/89 when the general came up with some nice wheels.

Re: What's your favorite style C3? (GrandSportC3)
Gotta be a convertible....and since mine was a '72 starting out in life...that's it....
but to be honest, the say 80-82 rears in glass, with something higher on the chin spoiler in front, less overhang would be nicer, but to me, that ugly lo front end kills the car....can't stand that urethane either...never smooth, too wavey....allways buckled looking, needs glass, less over hang....
so it's the chrome by default.....I am thinking of redoing my chrome with welded up similar aluminum pieces though....

I personally prefer 68 - 72 Verts.. I also like the 80 - 82's a lot - especially because of the re-designed front and rear bumper...

Re: What's your favorite style C3? (SanDiegoPaul)
I'm not sure which one I'd pick-kinda like askin' which is your favorite "son" or even your favorite "daughter"-not a fair question to me :party:
I think the question should be "What is your favorite GENERATION of Corvette :lolg:
People ask me alot which is my favorite and I always say "All of them" :p:

68-72 chrome bumper coupes.
Things I like are the gill like vents, shorter nose and the style of the tail. I also like the storage space under the rear window in my 79 coupe.
