Laughing my ars off.....love you guys but siting ambient temps 55 years back is a sickness but a good one.
Really don't think any temp variance would effect something that chevy was in the habit of qc, the finish and it's consistency.

Doug’s car looked amazing!

THAT is a very impressive car, wow! There is nothing like a well preserved time capsule.

Wowwwwwwe……. Congrats!

Can someone explain why, when red stripe was installed? Thanks

Nice to see a correctly installed air cleaner seal.

Black car no vinyl top, black interior gets red stripes

At the 1969 MY intro, black was an RPO color for a short time, then dropped. There were few early production black cars.

A famous early production black car [10 B 711] was the L78/auto SS owned by Joe Oldham. It was featured prominently in Baldwin-Motion ads and a few articles in pulp car mags back in the day. He wanted to delete the D90 stripe and Chevrolet refused to do it; early photos show it was built with a white D90. Shortly thereafter, he had the D90 stripe removed.

January 1969, black was added as an extra-cost color. Maybe at that time the default D90 color was changed to red.

Absolutely fantastic car, one of the main reasons I made the trip today!

Me too, what a shame that it was covered up smh.

Just a few I took. A couple rotated, but you get the picture.
