Regarding white stripes on the demo car. I can not tell you what color they were when Mel left Canonsburg, but when the car was sold from Van Chevrolet in the summer of '69, it had black hood stripes and NO side stripes. I talked with JS when SCW restored the car for BC. I described damage to the rt front fender that happened around Dec of '69. JS confirmed that a repair had been made matching my description, but that fender was a replacement not assembly line. I believe that the fender was replaced before being sold by Van and that is why there were no side stripes.
