Default Re: 1970 chevelle & el camino's

Quote from personal correspondence last year with Jim Mattison, who worked for GM on fleet & special order stuff:

"I do remember that we painted quite a number of 1970 Chevelles with "Hugger Orange" from the 1969 and 1970 Camaros. We also painted a fair number of vehicles with "Omaha Orange", which was originally a color used on many of the trucks that were sold to county governments. However, some of the car folks liked that color also."
