I can't remember who owns this beauty but I imitated the black accent paint and flush mounted red/amber euro tail lights. I don't have any current pics of mine. ***hint to self***

Lots of pics above but, having a '98 vert. I have come to learn that pewter really changes color/refections depending on the lighting. I know this is true with all colors but it is very pronounced with pewter. You need to find one and look at it in different light and shadows- morrning, high noon, evening, under street lights etc...
I liked the color from the start and even more after nearly 7 years!

Seeing a Pewter was the main reason I initially considered a C-5.

pics are in my sig.

its actually a really neat color! as someone already stated... it changes colors all the time depending on the time of day/amount of light from the sun. sometimes the car looks almost gold when the sun is shining on it, when the sun starts to go down, you get the silverish color. and when its dark, or a rainy day... the car is almost a greyish color!!

i think its just a classy looking car in pewter! best choice IMO!
