Re: build date, vin, door decal
Rick,
For Corvettes (I'll defer on the other cars in the Chevy line to those who are more knowledgeable), 1969 production ended on December 19, 1969... 1970 Corvette production started on January 5, 1970 so there was no "carry over" between the 1969 model year and the 1970 calendar year. I was under the impression that Camaro production for both Norwood and Van Nuys also ended prior to 1970, but as noted, I'll wait for one of the Camaro guys to verify that. As you stated, the official introduction for the 1970 Corvette was in mid-February... If I'm not mistaken, the Camaro was introduced at the same time.
As far as the door label that contained the serial number/build month & year, Corvettes apparently began using them beginning in September 1969... I have never seen an original August 1969 Corvette with this label.
By the way, the 1970 Chevelle on your website is outstanding! Beautiful car!
Regards,
Stan Falenski
