They had several vettes over the years but they were all gray. It was a black-and-white show.

Evel who...? In thread terms, there's a fork in the road worth taking.

The first ('60) was Horizon Blue, followed by a '61 Jewel Blue, a Fawn Beige '62, and then Saddle Tan '63 and '64s.

Correct. I always thought that there was a red one but it turns out that that one was only on a promotional poster or something. The '60s were probably the best time to be a (male) teenage driver.

Sweet.
As a kid there were two neighbourhood cars that stood out:
A Plymouth Superbird(which was like having a cross between the bat mobile and a Saturn 5 rocket parked outside)
A silver split window 63 Vette.
If Roger Moore and James Bond were American. That's the car he would have been driving. Just awesome.

Sorry Mate .... There's only ONE Bond and when he's here in the States, he knows to drive the only car made for him.

I think that the theory was keep the name and grow the car as the family grows. It didn't work.
I had a first generation Mustang ('67) and a third generation Camaro ('82). Our son still drives the Camaro.

Aye, the '68 Mustang GT.
Well, at least we agree upon, whether it's Bond, James Bond or McQueen, Steve McQueen ... both of them at least drive a REAL car.

Pulling a close second might have to be the mid 1980's.
A high school kid who worked hard part time could afford to buy leftover 60's muscle cars for pretty cheap if willing to put some sweat equity into it.
They might not have all been pretty(some were) or numbers matching...but man could those cars MOVE.
In retrospect, it was like selling old rockets to pubescent male monkeys for literally a few peanuts.
I'm surprised so many of us survived and how relatively few mushroom clouds eventuated.

My first car was a 9 year old '51 Ford Coupe...I stripped off all the chrome and leaded in the holes, painted it '56 Ford Pine Ridge Green, and added aluminum Moon Discs! My second was a '31 Ford Coupe...I never should have sold it!

My Great Grandfather had a '56 Chevy identical to the one in the attached picture. Cherry condition. When they put him in a retirement home we went through it and there was a portable wind up Victrola like the second picture. I guess he snuck out and went dancing at night.
Years later my grandfather wished that he had kept that car when he learned how popular they had become with the young hot-rodders.
