Finally getting to drive our '95 teal vert
When I was young I used to hear older people comment that every year time just seemed to go by faster. Now that I am in my 50's I am starting to feel that way more every year.
Could not believe when I started looking at the paperwork a month ago that I had purchased our new to us '95 vette August 8th, 2015. Sad to say that I got busy with some different projects last fall and I just had not gotten to start driving the vette yet since I purchased it. Finally got off my duff and got it out of winter hibernation and all I can say is what a fun car to drive.
Was not prepared for all the comments and looks the car gets when we take it out but enjoy every minute -thought I would post a few picks of our teal beauty !

The C4 vette picture you showed is not actually teal but a bright turquoise and reminds me of a color that was on some GM cars back in the 60's and I like it. Had a neighbor when I was a kid who had a 1968 El Camino and man I thought that light turquoise color really made that car stand out-classy , subtle and elegant all at the same time. Of course back then I am sure GM called the color light green or something but if I could not have found a Bright Aqua Metallic C4 vert I would have been looking for a turquoise one.
Thanks for all the nice comments on our '95. I am proud to say that since I brought the car to work I am now cool with all the younger kids-LOL!

Any other Bright Aqua Metallic C4 owners out there that can post some pictures of their car ? Would love to see some more photos of them as it seems you do not see them very often.

You, however, are entitled to your opinion, even if it is so very wrong.

It is NOT teal. The car shown is Bright Turquoise Metallic, which was used through 1991. In MY opinion it is a very nice color. I think it is so nice that I bought one. Bright Aqua Metallic was used from 1992 to 1996.

Since teal is my favorite color, I have to interject. No C4 is teal. Teal is a darker shade than either Turquoise Metallic (90-91) or Bright Aqua Metallic (92-96). Turquoise is greener than Aqua, which is more of a sea-bluegreen. Im not a big fan of the turquoise, but I saw a 90 up close once and it was better than I expected.
If you want to see teal, its on the 4th gen Camaro. I believe it was called Mystic Teal.
Ok, enough nerding.
Wouldnt expect any different from you, man. And Silver? Thats the one you go to? Cuz I just fell asleep. (Ok I actually like silver).
Lets get real. Blue is where its at!

Great Vette and color...I like the turqoise as well. 
Without a doubt, the C4 has had some of the wildest paint color offerings....
