That looks like one beautiful and well maintained 1997.
Doesn't seem there's much love for the 97s. Mine has treated me quite well.

Great looking car - the wheels and red calipers really set it off.

Gotta love a black C5!! Your selection of wheels nicely compliments the car, great job on that! Just my opinion but I think black so compliments the lines of a C5 (I have a black'99 vert). When clean and spotless the black C5 looks as good ( maybe better ) than just about any other color. All you other forum members please don't throw rocks at me, just a personal like and opinion! Black is just a truly miserable and labor intensive color to keep looking good, as I'm sure you already know. Your '97 is a great looking ride!
