Wow, those are cool ads !!!
And they are advertising buying new 1970 model GM cars yet show pics of a '69 Camaro and Corvette. You stated it's from Sept of '69, but would that happen to be a January 1970 date code on the bottom of the Ad?
The reason I ask is because one of my old '69 Corvettes (LeMans Blue, just like in the photo, hmmm) was actually completed in January of 1970 at the factory (fully documented, even though the main production run had ended in December of '69). It took me years to get the DMV to change the registration to show it was a 1969 model year and not a 1970 Corvette......
Always curious about these things.........

On the opposite page it shows a Sept.1969 date.
I don't think thats a printing date on the bottom,but more likely a publishers deadline code.
Remember,the new 1970 Camaro & Corvettes weren't officially announced until February 13th,1970,so they ran the 1969 Camaro & Corvette bodystyles longer then usual,up until the new release date of February 26th,1970.
Personally I'm curious why the show a drawing of a 69 Camaro,and not an actual photo like the other models..

See where the front side marker light is in that drawing. Looks like it is up high, wrong place. Roger
