I am having trouble getting pictures to post so go to www.corvettesofdallas.com for some interior pictures. I have the oak interior and yes it is "tan" but is real nice looking. It is definetely not a bold look like the red or red and black if you are looking for something bold.

I have Oak Interior in my Torch Red Coupe and it looks great compared
to all the Black interiors out there.Black doesn't show the dirt but it sure is HOT in the summer.

My only beef with non-black interior is that ALL the manufacturers have gone cheap in recent years by putting black dashes, steering wheels, consoles and the like in non-black interiors.

In years past, when you ordered a red or tan interior, EVERYTHING was red or tan and they were much prettier than the mixed bag we see today. The "light oak" interior isn't light oak. It's light oak and black.

Thanks for the info.

I'm looking to buy a C5. Found a black vette online with light oak interior. Its not my first choice of interior, but I'll give it a look. See if it grows on me.

If the interior has been taken care of it's a great color combination. Mag Red & Tan was my first choice, followed by Black & Tan. But then the DBGM & Tan appeared and it was all over.

Lighting makes this look a little lighter than it actually is.

I ordered mine with the light oak because personally I felt that black on black was boring. The light oak spices it up very nicely. classy like a ferrari instead of "boy racer".
