'66 Corvette COPO
Not sure what the COPO connection is - special paint maybe? And if that's the case...I thought special paint in '66 wouldn't have needed to be run through the central office. Am I wrong?

This was a controversial car at Metro LI Chapter. I believe it was a full deduction on paint color. In short, the owner/restorer claimed it is a Lyndale Blue painted '66. As you can see on the trim tag, additional stamping occurred at some point in the tag's life. FWIW, I know the shop that painted it, they're first rate quality and the body/paint (regardless of originally) was outstanding. Dan |

That way there was less waste associated with purging/color changes, and the system could be maintained without affecting regular production. K |
