Beautiful car right?! I would upload some photos as well but my phone I guess does not work well with this site and won't allow me to post them.

Not sure if it matters, but I talked to my father today and in regards to the pinstripe, it was factory. Was not added. Came from the dealer with the stripe painted on.

Re: 1970 CHEVROLET NOVA 396 SS FATHOM BLUE ALL ORGNL
 

So did the factory paint it on & ship it to the dealership,or did the dealership do it once they took delivery from the factory?

..and how much extra cost was it?

I've been around cars my whole life along with working in the new and used car industry for decades......

Dealer painted on pinstripes was and is still quite common.Most any dealer would pinstripe, cut in & paint white walls. Redlines, Bluelines, Goldlines.
Dealer dress up is as old as the first ever car sold.

Just a thought......for conversation.

From what my father says it came from the factory painted on.

looks pretty much loaded up with exterior options from what I can see

Re: 1970 CHEVROLET NOVA 396 SS FATHOM BLUE ALL ORGNL
 

60's camaro's came with factory painted pin stripes so why would nova be any different.

Re: 1970 CHEVROLET NOVA 396 SS FATHOM BLUE ALL ORGNL
 

Looks like it was indeed factory applied & included when RPO ZJ-2 custom exterior was ordered.
Known as Body-side paint stripe,available in black or white.
I've honestly never noticed it before.

Re: 1970 CHEVROLET NOVA 396 SS FATHOM BLUE ALL ORGNL
 

Never said a Nova didn't have factory stripes

I gave an alternative insight as why IT COULD HAVE a painted on pinstripe.....
Just like ANY OTHER CAR......REGARDLESS OF YEAR, MAKE , MODEL..... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img]
