That photo is on a calendar and all of the photos are credited to "GM Archives."

Are those tires radials?.
If so, being Goodyears wouldn't they have to be early 70's or later?. And what's on the hood...a mini tach made out of a deer whistle?. ![]() ~ Pete

Pete, are we still talking about the car in the calendar? That is obviously an early 80's custom. I think the deer whistle tach is just a shadow from the cowl hood opening.

Yes the yellow '69...I was responding as I thought you guys were thinking it was an original GM shot w/ '69 Michigan tags etc?.
And are you sure the deer whistle is a shadow...looks like something mounted there to me?. ![]() ~ Pete

Just an opinion, but I wouldn't be so quick to discount the calendar car as a non-factory custom. Bill Mitchell was always doctoring up stuff to his own tastes. He liked yellow, he liked that style of wheel (alot) and he liked the '69 Camaro (alot). The 1962 mako Shark vette (see my attachment) has similar wheels and that car is all Mitchell. And that IS definitely a shadow.

1975 Camaro Berlinetta show car at the Chicago Auto Show - another Mitchell creation. Check the wheels.
