I thought the same thing Mitch!!

Very unusual Corvette that was at Mecum Kissimmee. It is a bit strange looking in person, but pretty with the blue/red combo.

I don’t like lemans and red. Doug’s Nantucket blue and red looks like they belong together.

Compatibility is usually a matter of what cast the color has, which often isn’t evident until you put it next to something else. It’s why Khaki shirts and shorts are such a b!itch to match and you can’t tell until you put them on! ‘63 Daytona Blue/Red was a factory recommended combo, and the dark blue has a subtle purple/red cast that doesn’t fight the red. I think of LeMans Blue as a pretty pure blue, but it probably leans away from rosy red and causes some dissonance for folks.

That color combo is just sex on wheels for this guy!

Very well put, Tom. I wasn’t as attracted to it as much as I thought I would be when I saw it in person.
I’m used to the blue/red of 289 Cobras.

I think many of us can relate to sex on wheels, at least back in the day...
