Not sure of the first cars' build date or assembly plant, but here are some OP (original paint) Z28's:



Here's a 02D Norwood '69

then the Z11 you pictured is a Norwood car as well? I have owned over a dozen Z10/Z11's and I have never seen a Norwood car done any way other than your picture above.

have not ever seen a Van Nuys car without the seam to seam cowl covered with stripe color, but then I have not looked at every single car ever built

These are some shots from an 04D LOS special paint 68Z that was at Carlisle this year. Original paint and most components still on the car. Looks to me like the area under the cowl is all black gloss same as stripe color on this one as well.

Hope it helps.

Which after looking at your profile, turns out as being yours. Have a few others in my unrestored archive discs, will try and dig them up for you.

Yes his book does and it shows that the cowl does not get painted from side to side. It shows the paint stopping well short of the pinch welds
