I admit I'm not a big fan of C3 , it was the C4 that really captured my attention as a kid although my first ride ever in a vette was a 63 split window! But when the C4 came out with the looks and arcade dashboard, I was hooked!! My liking would be:

C2
C6
C4
C1
C3
C5

There is no need for that. He likes the C4 the least, big deal. I'm sure there will be others.

Talking about looking like a firebird the c4 and the third Gen FB both have that wedge shape not that I dislike it but they do look similar in my humble opion. My list would be c5, c3, c6, c4, c2 just my opion

That's the beauty of this forum and this country...we all can have our opinions and that's just fine. It'd be pretty boring if we all thought alike. But the one thing we all have in common here is our enthusiasm for Corvettes and that's just, plain cool!

Like someone said..."like choosing between children". I like 'em all!

Well, purely for looks and unique style...

C2, spcifically the '63 SWC - will always own a piece o' my heart. Wow!

late C1s and C4s and the C6s are pretty much tied.

C3 ... still growing on me - passed up the C5 shortly after my wife bought her 69 vert.

C5 ... I just never warmed up to them as much.

Toss in performance and uniqueness, then the ZR-1 and C6 Zs come to mind first. Beyond that and my crystal ball starts going dark. But, just before it does, I saw a black C5Z with a black/white interior...Wow!

I'll probably get some heat for this, but the C4 has never been my favorite. They seem a little plain, (this would explain my cosmetic changes I have made).

The C3 got me hooked. I almost got a blue 69 vert 4-speed when I was younger and just look at a 78 Pace Car.

The C4 has really grown on me, since I bought one, but here is my list for looks. {Favs in () }

1- C3 (69 with header side-pipes & 78 Pace Car)

2- C5 (Z06)

3- C2 (63 & 67 with "Stinger" hood)

4- C4 (late)

5- C6 (Grand Sport)

6- C1 (58-62)

7- C7
(Who knows?)

While I agree that each is a personal opinon and there is not a need to expand. That said I think it is great when people do expand and explain what they like or don't like on each model.

In fact such info makes threads like this valuable to designers as they try to see what we liked and didn't like on each.

C2 1967

C1 1962 or 1957 FI
C5
C4 ZR-1
C6 Pick One

My 1962 Black on Black still has to be my favorite, then family came so sold it. Just bought a 1971 350 270HP Auto with 46,000 original in perfect condition so I'm happy again

I may be showing my age... BUT I currently own:

One C2
Three C3's
One C4
One C5

I rank the LOOKS as follows

C2
C3
C4
C5
C1
C6

I do not care at all for the C1 except the 61 with the 62 a close second ..
The C2's ...Never saw a C2 that I would not like to have in my garage..
The C3's are great UNTIL 1978...
The C4's especially the 92-96 just do it for my eyes.. ( I own 88 35th ANC however)
The C5's I honestly like them a lot but not as much as the C4
the C6's Honestly I do not pay much attention to them at all

Had to think about this for several days.

IF I had to choose this would be it. Hate to put the C5 last because they are a great car, but I think it does look best as an FRC.

There are no losers when you talki about Corvettes.

Going by looks alone def the C1, 2, then 3.

Trouble is I have a real hard time fitting in any of them comfortably.

C5Z looks nice fit a little better

Just in general outside the Z06 none of the 5/6 do anything for me and have too many electronics.

Drove a freinds 62 roadster and was letdown as I love the looks and implicity of the early ones.

t was made for people well under 6ft tall felt like a pedal car to me.

How would you rank them?

They all look good in there own special way though.
