As many here know, the wife and I have owned 4 C3's; and by far the most loved were our 1973 and 1982 CE.

Imagine my surprise at the NCM's bash on Friday// where they introduced the "Atlantic Trim" option package for the 2015 C7.

First off, the base paint color is new for 2015; called "Shark Gray". This is very close to the CE color, and the C5 Pewter color.They then added a "Fusion Gray" colored stinger stripe to the hood, and painted the heat extractor this same color:

and they painted the bezels surrounding the tail lights this Fusion Gray:

and the side vents are the same FG color:

This is almost exactly the same treatment the 82 CE received.

it was tough getting pics that were truly representative of what was being offered here; the Fusion Gray parts aren't quite as dark as they appear in the pics. The color has got to be a clone of what was used on the dark parts of the 1982 CE.


As a '82 CE appreciater... I was totally surprised at what they did.

I saw pics of that once before and thought it looked great. I wish they did one like the '78 Silver Anniversary. :seasix:

Both Corvettes I owned were silver. If I were buying a third, this would be it.

I sent you a model car. Wasn't that enough?

It's still in the box. I think it's more valuable in the original, unopened box with the TG&Y sticker.

yes & no.

I placed an order through my Corvette dealer abotu 3 weeks ago - for a 2015. But, they can't enter it into the system until this May 29th (supposedly is the first day 2015 Corvette orders will be accepted by GM).

One reason Yvonne and I went to the Bash was to see the new-for-'15 colors, and the new Shark Gray is very like the C5 Pewter (which I loved).

So., I'll call the dealer Monday with the color choice.
