First off, I do not know the history of this car. If it is some “holy grail”, do not be offended. Personally, I think all the extra graphics, “Official .., etc.”, really detracts from the appearance. If it was a simple “inverse” 30th, I would be much more impressed.

Yes, it is surely the best. It was a promotional car for several vendors. I really don't like the interior, I would put a 30th T/A interior and bag it. But it is surely the best to me. It was never sold, but was a sweepstakes for century 21. I registered every day for it,

You guys obviously have no idea about that car...

That is a one-off car built by GM for publicity purposes and it's very suprising that it made it into private ownership in the 1st place. (GM usually destroys cars like that when their purpose is completed.) Let me tell you that I've seen that car in person and it didn't have all those graphics on it. It was stunning.

Those white powdercoated rims are actually a set of ultra-rare magnesium wheels found on some C5s. Crap on it all you want, without those decals, with the top down that's the baddest looking convertable WS6 on the planet... PERIOD (my opinion)

Lose the stickers and the car looks as good as its pedigree. Much nicer than the white production version.

the CETA convertable is best looking T/A Vert.. not this over stickered nightmare.. plus the interior... good lord.. I think there is a reason this was a "ONE OFF CAR".. because GM must have fired the designer and kicked him in the nuts for coming up with such an ugly *** car..

Some think the CETA looks like a rotten banana.

Opinions are like.. bungholes.. everybody's got one, some just stink worse than others.

That doesn't make much sense, since rotten bananas are brownish black.

Love that pic!

I had a friend do his own rendition with the white 30th stripes and wheels on his NBM WS6. It looked excellent and he got a lot of attention. Apparently it was a pain keeping the white clean since he only kept it that way for 1/2 year and then took off the stripes haha.
If that car is sold, I just pray it goes into a private collection and is brought out to the big shows like it should be.

Oh, and my vote for hottest WS6 Vert goes to the original 30th Anniversary Trans Am Daytona D.A. cars

Metaphorically speaking. Saying it looks like ****, looks like ***, or like a rotten banana, all suggest a terrible or ugly appearance.
