Default Re: What do you think of this car? Hemmings ....

Anything is possible, and everything was available over the counter for a large number of years. If you read about it in a mag, it was available. I would think that the stuff that points to 9737 was added-on, or picked up from points elsewhere.

But, the difference here is that people are splitting-hairs on both sides. Who cares... 13/16", SCC, whatever...

Also, I must say that even back in the "I remember the good ol' days", very very few people actually placed special-orders. A family member of mine used to sell Chevys, and they sold them then like they sold them now-- Anything that was a pain in the neck to process was usually not, and the person either got what they got, or moved on to another dealer. Most people fail to remember this. Based on this, the likelihood of someone choosing to special-order the paint on the back of a Camullet, and some of the other options being bantered about in this thread, is highly unlikely.

Nice car none-the-less, and if the owner is happy, everyone else can stick it.
