Shades of Yellow Across

Shades of Yellow Across
the Years
The Chevrolet Corvette has been in public production since 1953. It has since this time undergone
what some consider to be four major reconstructions of itself. These five eras of Corvette have been
categorized by the Corvette world into the 'C#' notation where 'C' is equal to Corvette and the '#'
is a representation of the era Corvette it is.
Believe it or not there was not a Yellow Corvette paint option in every year of production. What was
General Motors thinking? :) The paint code for that specific year follows the paint name within parenthesis ().
You may find additional color code information on the color code library website.
