Default Color combo
About to pull the trigger on a 91 Steel Blue Metallic coupe (love that color!)

I have also come upon a good deal on a set of champagne color 2003 50th anniv wheels for a bit of a different look to put on the car.

I will ultimately do what pleases me but otherwise any opinions?

Great color, I'm only sorry it wasn't offered longer than two years. Not sure about the wheels though.

Before I got my C5 wheels, I was looking for a good deal on a set of 50th ann. wheels. They don't show up often...I say go for it. They'll go well with the blue.

Just trying to show the color. That is NOT the car I am trying to buy. The seller's son is trying to reach him right now to see if accepted my deal.

I figured that much. Just busting your chops. Good luck with the offer.

Still waiting to hear. I have a backup if this falls through though as I found another just like it with fewer miles but a little more money.
I am home now and have access to my pics. This is the one I am looking at:

The alternate (a 1990):

Both look great and will look even better with the 50th ann. wheels.
