Default Seeing Double - Nassau Blue FRC's

I was at the Dayton Cars and Coffee this past weekend and there was another Nassau Blue FRC there! These are some of the rarest C5s, and since I have owned mine I have never seen another one. So to have two together was a real treat. Enjoy!

Very nice!!

I've come across only one other NB C5 in my ownership and unfortunately we weren't parked so couldn't get a photo.

Two gorgeous cars. Never understood why that color didn't sell very well.

No clue either. It often seems that some of the best colors are very rare.

It isn't even like its a particularly strange color such as purple or pink, which I can understand having a smaller appeal, its a great color for anyone, even if blue isn't a favorite color.
