[QUOTE="OneTrueChevyGirl, post: 110439, member: 2802"] Hi PikanJoe - Love, love your beautiful pair of C1s! I'm such a fan of the vintage GM blues - somehow just perfectly retro on the C1. If my 1960 wasn't all original Roman Red, I'd paint it Tasco Turquoise! Are you thinking about adding a newer vette to round out your collection? I absolutely agree with you about the early vettes. My C1 gets out on the occasional warm summer evening scenic drive and a few car shows. As your roadsters probably do, mine drives like a bus! Zora Duntov sure designed one giant steering wheel on these little cars with no power steering or brakes! Are yours pretty much stock? You really do have to arm wrestle em around corners and into parking spaces. Even when taking up two spots! Hilarious - I've been caught in sudden rainshowers too. My headliner 1/4" gap pours onto your lap as the squidgy mechanical wipers try to keep up! Their simplicity makes them all the more charming and endearing. I know I will never, ever sell mine. We're lucky enough to also have a ’63 split. In comparison, the addition of power steering, brakes and IPS make it SO SO much nicer to drive. With a 2spd powerglide - a simple, fun drive and joy to take out. I imagine a big block 66 or 67 with solid lifters, 4spd would be a completely different animal. Our C2 also stays local - no off island road trips and car shows. Like you, we feel it's not worth chancing being too far from home with the oldies. In 2015, we added a new vette. It's absolutely amazing. It goes everywhere. It's a dream. All I've gotta add is... three's a charm! Thanks for posting great pics of your cars. Always nice to meet another C1 owner. Franci [/QUOTE]
