Could you please photoshop a C7 convertible to the factory yellow color? Multiple different views would be appreciated! Thanks in advance...

Give the guy a break. He is creative. Plus don't forget, everthing old is new again. Give it time, and we'll be saying what a forward thinking bloke he is, or something to that effect. (I'm not english, but it sounded apprpriate.)

I don't think anyone is bustin on the OP. The 2 tone cars were not well received when they were new - no reason they should be well received now - so if you resurrect a bad idea, well don't expect "Jolly Good Job"

Never cared for two-tone Corvettes except for the '56-'61 C1's. But, to each his own.

Only liked corvette after 63 on. the first we ugly cars. Really
hubcaps, people driving them looked like wibble wobbles. The
next ugliest were early C4. But they got cleaned up fast.
the photo chop of the two toned new looks good like the 78+-

I guess some just can't let go of the past.
Wire wheels, chrome wheels....whats the difference?

Hey there jackhall99....here is a shot of the rear of the Bricklin....compare that to the OP photo of the rear. That OP photo just reminded me of the Bricklin. "...eye of the beholder...." and all that stuff.
