Default Ugliest vette ever created!!!!!!

i think my vette might have been super ugly when born. Now it is black on black, but according to the vin and the paint under the black my car was origionally....

yellow exterior with red interior.......*barf* I just don't think that could have been that good looking.

Phew, I though I was going to see a pic of my car ;)

But I have to agree, yellow on red is pretty scary :crazy:

A millenium yellow C5 with modern red leather interior isn't exactly my cup of tea but I don't think would look near as bad as the original C3 yellow with our red interiors. Yeah, similar colors but I think they would look totally different.
I wonder if the car was bought for some kind of company or something that had red and yellow as their logo or something. I can't imagine some average Joe Blow public wanting that as their personal car. But then again, look at some of the styles from the 70's. :crazy:
