That vintage info and pics are "way too cool".

I thought up till now Chrysler was the only psychedelic car manufacturer/customizer in the late sixties.

Well, Chrysler was not the first company to use bright colors - Chevrolet had Rallye Green and Pontiac had Carnival Red as an extra-cost color for 1968. And we probably could start a debate on what is &quot;Mod&quot; and what is &quot;Psychedelic&quot; but I don't necessarily consider paisley or houndstooth psychedelic. Decals that say &quot;The Judge&quot;? Those are psychedelic to my eyes, as if they've been copped from a Fillmore West poster. Old Plymouth illustrations where the car is distorted also strike me as psychedelic.

Otherwise, I'm not sure I'd characterize this item as Chevrolet's, as I think it was another company that made it for Chevrolet dealerships to sell.

Some pretty neat stuff in that Camaro link! I know I've seen it before but it's been awhile.
