Original color of 1959 Corvette

[Tom B.]

When i purchased my car about 3 years ago from Vintage Vettes in Tennessee It was advertised to be 1 of
361 that was Frost Blue with White Coves I believe I have determined that it was originally Crown Sapphire
Is this fact a big hit on the value or since it is an original color that year not a big deal
Thank you

About 1/3rd of the '59 production were ordered in two-tone. There were 1024 frost blue with 361 in two-tone. There were 888 Crown Sapphire with 420 in two-tone. I don't think that difference in production would make any difference in market value ;^)

Thanks for the reply I was thinking since it is not the original color painted at the factory it would affect the value like
not having a matching numbers motor?

Tom -

Nobody will ever know what the car's original factory color was anyway; not an issue.
