is he sure it was Hugger Orange and not Omaha Orange? Omaha seemed to be a popular special order color in 68. Hugger has more of a red tint then Omaha

Nope...he swears it was "Hugger." I've always thought perhaps he's remembering wrong, and they were really '69 cars that he saw in '68, but he says no. He was driving a brand new 68 Chevelle at the time so I know he knew what he was looking at. It's sort of funny because he said he hated the color when he first saw it, and it's since become one of his favorite Chevy colors, as it has with many Chevy enthusiasts. He claims to also remember when the '69 Camaro Pace Cars hit the showrooms and the new orange checked interior was enough to turn your stomach. Nowadays I can't think of anything more 60's than Hugger Orange houndstooth.
