Naw, your car looks great, but I think I know what EllwynX is talking about: A more intense shade of gold, bordering on the color of what new babies leave in their diapers. Not a good color, IMHO.

In 1967, Granada Gold was a VERY popular color on several of GM's cars. You'll see that paint code on a LOT of cowl tags.

Re: Gold Bowtie
I'm going to miss the blue and red bowties. Before the word came down about this switch, I'd never even heard someone say the words gold bowtie together. Blue Bowtie means something when you say it. I doubt I'll ever get the truck image out of my head when I think or see a gold bowtie. It's not often you see a company change an endearing logo after 90+ years making people passionate about it. I hope some day a new marketing team feels just as strongly about bringing it back.

I'm right there with you brother!!!
I liked my 67 having the "R/S" emblem in the grill.
I think if they Do make the R/S or SS they should put this
in the grill instead of the bowtie. WAY COOL

Re: Gold Bowtie
I'm not a big fan of the gold bowtie, don't hate it, i think i would just prefer the old camaro emblem there instead.... or like mc63 and White95LT1 mentioned, put the SS, RS in the middle.
Red and blue bowties are what i think of when i think chevy, of course i also have a set of christmas lights that are alternating red and blue bowties
oh and wtf are they getting rid of the corvette emblem? I thought that was always one of the coolest things about the old vettes was the crossed flags and engine size
