Re: 1969 Z/28 or RS/SS 396 tuxedo black
Not a joke but I read somewhere (can't remember)...but people said it was taboo way back in '69 to buy a car that was painted black. Can anyone confirm this. Could be why there weren't many black cars around for that particular year. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
