Default Re: Corvette LT1 Debut?

[ QUOTE ]
You're saying there was a strike in the spring of 69 which affected 69 model year Corvette production? Was the Corvette the only car affected by the strike? Not being argumentative, just trying to understand....

The strike in May 1969 delayed a lot of orders for the Corvette at the St. Louis plant, John Delorean decided to extend Corvette production beyond the normal model year run in order to full fill those orders, rather than return them to the dealers. '69 Corvette production continued thru December of 1969, long into the normal changeover model run.
