This is the correct placement for their dealer emblem on a 1969 Camaro. Not too sure if this will help you?

Paul,

It's beautiful!

Everyone loves a Hugger Orange COPO, including the original owner of my car, Tom Hurst. In fact, before he ended up buying my blue car, he put in an order for a Hugger Orange (Paint Code 72) COPO from Don Howson Chevrolet in Willowdale. I don't know the exact circumstances about why Hurst never took delivery of the Hugger car but he may have seen the classified ad that Gorries Golden Mile placed in The Toronto Star three days before he bought the blue one - the ad that Pete posted above in this thread.

I will definitely put the Golden Mile emblem on the left side. Yours looks great!

A few questions about your car, Paul.

- Is that a Canadian oil change sticker on the right side inner fender, and do you have it placed so that you can read it looking over the right side fender?

- Did you put a 180 thermostat/antifreeze decal on the left side of the core support?

- Do you know if your car was imported with a Canada Transport decal on the inner driver's door?

- Is the blue colored rear license plate a dealer plate? The one on the front of my car appears to be authentic and it matches the plate number on the Used Vehicle Information Package documenting the sale from Hurst to the second owner, Peter Janda, but as you can see from the photos above, my plate is white. Were the vanity plates white? Maybe a post 1969 issue?

Please bear with me on all the questions - it's crunch time, and the plan is to try to get everything done by tomorrow night.

Thanks again, Paul!
