I saw your ride when it was at GMP automotive a while back. Still one of the best looking C5s on the planet. I'll always love the look of the color Pewter on a C5. I came oh so close to buying one but the dealer balked at my trade.
Is everyone on the C5 aware that if you have a OEM light gray interior and you lift up the rear carpet is states the color is "Pewter" not light gray?

Pollen season here in North Carolina. Believe me, it's pewter underneath.

Good to hear from you Al. Will have to meet up with you soon and see that new ride. I had GMP replace some critical parts before I took the 98 down to Naples for a couple of weeks in January.

I have to admit I am having pewter envy. These are all beautiful rides and I'm not sure what it is but the pewter color seems make the lines of the car smoother and more voluptuous like. Drop the right rims, a spoiler, and an MCM hood on one of these and you would have a gorgeous beast.

These colors must be very close...
I agree I think ours are a bit lighter.

They are very close, pewter has a little “dirt” in the paint. Thats’ why embraced taupey colors in my interior.
