Interesting original '69 Chevelle SS Ad

With regard to the 69 ad in the first posting, it's obvious a lot of the early promotional material was done before final tooling and detailing of the cars.

Some of the same circumstances appear in the original 69 Chevelle sales brochure. If you have the brochure take a look at the front grill on the Malibu convertible (probably brushed in to look totally Silver) and then the Malibu tailight bezels on the Red 300 Deluxe model. Hard to tell for sure, but it also appears all the models pictured in the borchure have the SS parking lights.

Hey, if these were printed in late spring of 1968 then we have to give GM a little wiggling room. No big deal really.

Unless you have a brochure that has a print date on it I think that is unlikely. More like July/August of 1968. Otherwise the brochure would have to be from a drawing. The new models could not be built until the plant was brought back on line for production. The only other thing available would be clay design models unless the had a model built from panels made for the die stamping machines that were going to be used in the assembly plants. This would be highly unlikely as those things would be highly guarded and not many people would be allowed to handle them.
