Dealer Order Procedures

[Jim Mattison]

My recollection is that we stopped accepting new orders about the second week in May, for build-out. GM still handles build-out the same way today.

I assume that you are basing these cars being built in the fourth week of May, based on the body build date on the Fisher Body tag. Fisher Body would build bodys for our "specials" weeks ahead of time, so although the body is dated May, the car may have actually been built in June or early July. I am 100% sure that we were still building COPO's in June and early July, 1969. The biggest problem we had building the 1969 COPO's was the availability of rear axle assemblies.
