White Corvettes
Hello All,
I have been looking for a nice nice C4 for about the last 6 months....I have found a very very nice 1994 that is in near perfect condition..It
is white.....Personally like white and I have had several white cars in
the past.......Is white a less popular color for Corvettes than say red or black?....I am just wondering just in case I would sell it down the road
Thanks in advance

White = vanilla = generic! At least that is how the theory goes. Flashy cars demand flashy colors. In my mind, a white corvette is a beautiful car.
I don't think there is any correlation between white and less money, for everyone who doesn't like it, there is someone who does. Just about all colors have their negatives and their "haters" (think yellow).

it's all a matter of opinion.
I love white. White was also the first color. I think they are easier to keep clean because when you are cleaning it you can actually see what you are doing.

Some great replies and I will add that though there are those who don't like it, (as with all colors) there are those who love it, myself included. I was set on a white with black interior LT4 and let a few go by that were close to that to get the one I wanted. I suppose White doesn't "photo" as easily as some colors, but in person the car is blinding bright and I think is one of the colors that best takes the "plastic" look away and looks classy as well.
Basically, it isn't the most rare or popular necessarily, but it is what I would call a "safe" color that won't hurt either on the resale. You can't say that about some of those hues from the 70's.

Don't forget the white polyester with the gold chains!

White was my color of choice, although I like many colors....any color of Corvette is nice. I like the classiness of the White with the flashiness of the red interior.

You have a beautiful car btw.
I like how yours sits. It could be the angle of the photo too though. What's the badge on the hood behind the wheel?
