That surprised me as well. I roughly remember he tried to get a 74 as well. Green 454 convertible. There was a set number allotted for each division and Dad was last on the list. Then they brought in a new exec and he wanted a Vette and Dad got bumped. As of last week, Dad at 92 still remembered that guy’s name when I brought up this old paperwork lol.

It was after these failed efforts he started buying used ones we’d fix up so ultimately that became a much better outcome.
