You see, that's why Nassau Blue is liked more now than when they were first produced...Not everyone has one. I like black and red, but they are a dime a dozen, not that they are not awesome cars, just very common colored cars. I am sure not very many people cared for some of the rare colored C5's when they were first sold, but how many of you out there, would love to have an Aztech Gold, or light purple or the matalic green ones, (don't remember the named colors for them)?

Fairway green in 97-98 only. Majestic Amethyst Metallic 98-99. Azteck Gold 97-98, (Green Peral Metallic 00, Polo Green Metallic 01,02)= Dark Bowling Green Metallic. 00-02. Nassau Blue was Bright Blue Metallic in 97-98 changed in 99. Bright blue or Nassau Blue......i kinda like it.

I would consider a 2008 Vert in a variation of the Nassua Blue...

We would keep the 99 though

spoken like a true C5 owner!

Green? Did someone mention Bowling Green metallic?

When GM offers a C6 in green, I'll consider it.

Back to the original topic -- at a show & cruise we host every summer there were 3 Nassua Blue 2000's. One of each body style, coupe, convertible, and FRC. Very rare to see 3 of this color at the same time.
