Default Re: 69 Camaro's Canonsburg yard pic?

I am not so sure that car has pin stripeing on it. If you look at the other cars, they appear to have dust or something on the hoods and trunks. The dust may have settled on the fender in a way to make it look like striping but may be just the dust highlighting the edge and shows up in the picture. It also looks to be too wide to be a pin stripe.

T Billigen,
I would say that due to the Silver Grill, Chevy Bowtie and Cowl Induction Hood that the Camaro is a COPO. I only have the picture from this site, so I can not determine if they are stripes or not.

Where is the picture originally from, as in what book or what magazine? If I knew, I could rescan the original.

I think that line is a reflection from the sun and not a pinstripe, it seems the black car (first one in line) has a similar line and you can tell this is a reflection. The sun seems to be directly above the cars and could cause this illusion?

The picture in question is from Muscle Car Review, April '87. The pin stripes are clearly visible on the orange car and the other orange car (with black vinyl top)is also a style trim car. The Yenko order/stock numbers can be seen in the car windshields. With a clear reprint from the negative the cars could be identified. I think these are the March built cars with perhaps a few of the style trim 2D built cars. Who has the original photos?

I think they are february and March cars. This would be the second order with the X-44 and X-11 cars. The one with the vinyl roof, hugger orange, looks similar to my car. Without an original picture it is hard to tell even the colors, the "black" may even be dark green?

T Billigen,
While you were walking Yenko's lot 33 years ago, I was customizing my tricycle with high tech Crayola crayons
