I like that shade of blue better than I do the lighter shades that came later.

Agreed. My two Chevelles were LeMans Blue. My favorite color of all time. They bring it back, and I may have to up my year.

when I ran my vin # it said luxo blue. And around 2000 were painted that color. When I ordered chip paint, I ordered luxo blue. I have seen some web sites that don't list that color. Go figure!

Look at the sheet that came off the windshield of the car when it was new and sitting on the dealer's lot. I doubt that it said Luxo Blue.
Look at the Corvette Black Book. It doesn't list a Luxo Blue.
Look at the attached pic from the 2005 Order Book.
