When the dealer went ahead and ordered the '68, they simply duplicated the '67 order. That first '68 WAS delivered with an M22, and it was listed on the window sheet (wish I would have kept it). They sold me the '68 for the same price as the '67 since they screwed up the original '67 order. My Dad bought all his new cars from them and I think they wanted to keep us as customers. Most, if any, dealerships did not have computers back then, so everything was hand-written. That's probably the reason the '67 was delivered as a 4-door.

So, the question of the M22 in the '67 4-door comes down to this......:dunno:

Mr. Drew.........I don't think Augy is gonna spill the beans on that one. Didn't he say the
4-door is slumbering some 30 miles from the dealership? ( I thought I read it that way)

Thanks for explaining the details of your 67 4- door. That would have been a very special car if it would have been a 2- door.

Yeah, you're right about the current location of that '67 4-door....:grin:

As far as the dealership, it was Hinckley Chevrolet in Freeborn, MN. They moved many years ago to Wells, Mn under the same name, then sold out to someone else. I had contacted them about records for both cars (the '67 and the '68) but all those old hand-written records had been destroyed during the move.
