You might approach the owner of a bar that sells a lot of Corona (or another beer that comes in clear bottles) and offer him more than the refund for the empties. Wash, rinse with a mild bleach solution and they will be as good as new.
I did the same when I was home-brewing, except I used green Heiniken bottles. I gave him a dollar a case.Where can I buy clear, empty glass beer bottles?
Your best bet is online. Most brewery stores I've dealt with carry only the brown. Be forewarned about clear glass bottles, though. The color of the bottles is the color light it will let pass through, obviously the darker color glass, less light. Beers bottled in green glass (ie. Heineken) skunk because light gets through more than brown glass. Clear glass is even worse. You can use green and clear glass, but you just have to more cautious. Or maybe, you want the skunk flavor, sometimes it's desirable. Really.
I'm guessing you want them for decorative purposes? Ted Pack has the right idea. Get used Corona bottles for cheap.
