Default Re: plum crazy purple paint chevelle

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: black69</div><div class="ubbcode-body">don't be so sure they did not have plum crazy purple in 69. I just looked at a 69 GTS 383 that is one of 9 painted in hemi orange. that blew me away. I was sure hemi orange did not come out until the 70 model year. I was wrong (atleast on hemi orange).
</div></div>

A few points on this:

1. Plum Crazy indeed was a '70-71 color.

2. Production figures for 1969 colors are not available, so the &quot;1 of 9&quot; thing is BS.

3. Hemi Orange came out in 1969 and is quite common on A12 cars.

It is possible mother mopar was getting some early trials of 70 colors, on 69 models. </div></div>

Why would they need a trial?
