When I was 18, my father had a 1974 vette. It was a great color blue. Just like this photo. Looked great in the sunshine. And it was a blast to drive.Well, for those hardcore Corvette fans (I'm a fan too, this is my 5th), I'm gonna upset you. The car still had the original war bonnet yellow, it was in very bad shape and the yellow didn't bother me because with the patina it gave it a gold look. So, chose to go with a bright silver for the new color (it's a Hyundai color from the late 90's).
