I have a 2LT Z51 Coupe in Long Beach Red (LBR) coming down the production line. There have been some Forum postings that suggest LBR only has strong appeal to the older (perhaps, elderly.....) buyer. I'm already aware LBR is among the "least ordered" C8 color for 2020....
I turn 73 later this year, so "guilty as charged", I guess.......
Just curious...... if you have ordered--or intend to--a LBR C8......how old are you?
LBR reminds me of my 74 Monte with the Landau roof and Opera window and my 87 300ZX... I'm only 60 but LBR brings me down memory lane... It's like a fine Merlot...

I have been going with LBR for months, until the last minute when I changed to ELB. I was intent on being classy vs.flashy, but just love the ELB color. I am 57.
Age 68. But driven by younger wife's preference. I was headed towards orange or yellow. Don't think LBR selection is age-related -- rather, older people have more refined tastes!!!!
On a side note, I don't see any LBR C8s built besides the mules. MY TPW was 3/9 and that got pulled 3 weeks ago. I'm still at 3000 and wondering if there is a problem with the paint.
I remember they discontinued Crystal Red Metallic , in the middle of the year because the couldn't get an ingredient for the paint from Japan because of the Fukushima Daiichi Accident.
Anyone have any information about this delay with LBR?
My wife and I like the LBR...(BOTH MID 60'S)
She wants to get that color to match
Her 2019 Jeep Overland in that color but called Red Velvet.
It sparkles in the sun like GeorgeVee's last photo !
Trouble is I HATE always washing it, as it looks horrible in the winter with the salty roads here in the NE.
Hate the AY, like Rapid Blue and Sebring Orange but don't think we could live with those colors
torn now between ELB or just plain white
