24 years
Looks and runs better than the day I brought it home. 24 years of owning one of my best cars. Ordered September 1997, built December 18 1997, took delivery January 5 1998. Thanks for looking.
How she looks today.
First picture with the five star wheels. Couldn’t wait to get the wagon wheel off the car

Your car looks great - obviously very well taken care of and good to hear you still enjoy the car.

Thanks for sharing though. I've had mine for 8+ years. I hope it looks that good after I've had it for 24 years.

Thanks people for the kind words. I’m proud of the fact that as an original owner, the car can still get the complements from other owners. As an original owner and the one that put every mile on the car. I can truly see how good the C5 is after 24 years of pretty much trouble free years. I was lucky enough to be able to order and enjoy a brand new C5.Thanks
