[This 73 is absolutely awesome. And I typically dont care for yellow. I do now.]

Chrome bumper model: Modified '68's thru '72's Wide Bodies!

Rubber bumper model: '78 Pace Car's look the best!

Cannot go wrong with a '73, even Larry Shinoda agreed...

I Like'em ALL!!

 

[White75]

I like all the chrome bumpers, it's just a classic style. I prefer the 78 fastback for plastic bumpered vettes since it flows well with the back glass.
I however love the 75 and 78 the most since I own them

 

[Crimson Thunder]

I second the Pace Car.That silver interior is beautiful.
Its not about the bumpers for me,its the view of the front fenders while driving the car.

For the chrome bumper cars I'd have to go with the '68-'69 cars (I prefer the coupe).

For the rubber bumper cars I'd have to go with the '78 - '79 cars (minus the add-on front and rear spoilers).

I also agree that you can't go wrong with the '73 Corvette; kind of has the perfect blend of both styles.

 

[VETTE1973]

I have a 73 and I like the chrome/rubber combination

 

[bill81vette]

I like the color combo of the 78 pace cars,
but I like the body's of the early eighties...

 

[bb2kksy]

Love my 79 Dark Blue TTop, white leather interior , I will never give it up ( bury me in it )

 

[Evolution1980]

'69 vert.
Why? Chrome on both ends, integrated door-latch release, four 'gills' on the side. Mille Miglia Red with white soft top. Black interior. 4 speed, L-71 Tri-power.

1980-1982 for the bumper cars.
Why? They have the most aggressive look.

1973 gets a nod for having a little of each.

 

[chevy6673]

my pick 1973 the best of both worlds

 

[GRAND SPORT #12]

if i had the chance i think the 69 to 73 have the best looking rear clips i would love to see a 73 rear clip with and 80 front end and 80's hood would be a great looking car

 

[Reese001]

1969-1972 for the chrome bumpers.
1973 for both worlds.
1974 for urathane bumpers (because I own one)
