69 SS427. I would love to see this car. Dark brown with dark brown vinyl roof. Burnished Brown with FF vinyl top. Can't say that I have ever seen one in that color assuming it is a 69.

Re: Old Newspaper Ads

Rick, In 74 I remember a 69 Z24 custom coupe in burnished brown with a parchment top and interior with a 4spd. what a good looking car.

Pete, the 71 Fleetwood was what my mom drove, vaguely remember the Baja, it was my brothers, the Schwinn was my Pea Picker.

You should find a lot more ads throughout the years.

Re: Old Newspaper Ads

I have seen a few Burnish Brown Camaros (had a neighbor with a 69 Z28) and a Chevelle or two but never an Impala. I see by the paperwork it was available I just cannot remember ever seeing one.

Rick,
In about '92 at a local car show (Forest City Iowa?) there was a burnished brown '69 SS427 Custom Coupe 4 speed bucket seat car. I think it had parchment interior and can't remember if it had a vinyl top. I was about 13 at the time and I was all over that car. The owner was so impressed that a young kid was so fascinated with his fullsize car that he let me sit in the driver's seat. I still remember grabbing that 4 speed shifter, ruined me forever.

What is a great thing on the California ads is that the dealers state the license plate numbers in the ads ...

talk about "matching numbers" :-)

Re: Old Newspaper Ads
