Re: Special Order Paint Codes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are speaking special paint in 69 and how it was shwn on the tag the following are what I have observed so far. Atlanta, Baltimore and Kansas used dashes "- -", Freemont used a single dash " - ", I have no examples for Framington or Oshawa yet. Additionally the Kansas tags had AVO and a sequential number listed on their tags, they fall into sequence when the VINs are in order. The highest AVO number I have is AVO 227 and it is a 07C build week body. I would say there were possibly less than 300 special paint jobs for 69 at the Kansas plant. The odd thing is a couple of the AVO tags are for 72 color painted cars. I do not have enough details about those cars to investigate farther at this time. This AVO code also was used on Buicks built at the same plant, so it wasn't limited to chevelles. hope this helps Andy
