WOAH!!!!!!!! This newspaper advertisement is amazing!!!! I called Joe this morning with the news of seeing this post !!!!
As I write this, I am texting with one of the sons of the owner of that dealership - Walters Chevy - Olds. !!!! He tells me that his father loved to "check all the boxes" when ordering these cars. He also mentioned that their dealership was known for the high performance cars that they stocked.
That said, there are some oddities regarding the dates of purchase of our car. While the car was built 4th week of March 1969, and the POP was dated 4/8/69, that POP was not mailed to Robert Jones at the Long Beach Naval Base ( attn. USS FIRM) until 1970 after he purchased it as a new car on 6/19/1970. and that envelope is actually post marked Aug. 20, 1970.
Also ,we do have a typed up invoice from this dealership on 1970 letter head listing every single option the same way they're all listed in this advertisement.
But I guess that without a Vin# listed or even a color, we can only assume that this ad is for our car and that it may, in fact, had been used for a demo until our very own Mr. Jones purchased this car. Unfortunately, the real Mr Jones passed away right around the time my brother purchased the car and therefore we were never able to maker contact with him directly for any specific information.
We are so very thankful that you took the time to locate that ad and to post it. You have done this in the past for me for my '69 F-85 W-31 from Courtesy Olds in Tallahassee Fla.
THANK YOU!! We are always - and I mean always - on the hunt for new information regarding our cars. We absolutely love this stuff!!!
