Default Re: How Many 69 L89 Chevelles?

JoeC,

--------Im in general agreement with your percentages. But in the case of 1968 it should be remembered that this was the first year for the SS396 El Caminos. Earlier years could get the big-block but never the SS, although many SS hoods and emblems have been added to 66/67s after the fact. I think this pushes the number of 1968 SS El Caminos ordered up a bit, as there was some pent up demand to buy SS El Caminos in 1968. By 1969 this pent up demand probably had petered out and SS Elkys ordered may have fallen off a bit.
--------As I spew out my unsubstantiated theories it occurs to me that 1969 was possibly a longer production year for Chevelles and Elkys as well so maybe my drivel is just that!!!!!........Bill S
