I never believed there was as much orange overspray on the water pump bypass hose originally as some restorers do currently. The hose clamp looks clean of overspray too. It would be great to get more of these day one photos. Great pics!

The '69 Baltimore car that we bought new shows about the same amount of overspray as this one in the pictures. Very little if any. No graffiti on the firewall either. Each plant had their own methods with different results. Nice 300 Deluxe car. At least 75% of these cars that I have come across with documentation have had L78 power. Looks like rolled exhaust tips too.

Mine was Ewing ordered and delivered in June of '69. Did not think Fathom Blue was available in '69. Those are some very cool and informative photos. Thanks for posting Rick.

Mine is Dusk Blue. If you look at the last photo above (front medium distance shot) you can just make out yet another unique distinction of the 300 deluxe. The sun visors do not come as far to mid line as regular Malibu Chevelles and they do not have the center pivot posts that articulate with the rearview mirror. They are only suspended/supported by the outboard posts. Yet another huge dollar cost savings for the cheap 300 variant.

Could you order the recessed park wipers (RPO C24) on the 300 Deluxe or have you seen one with the option? I have GM Canada docs for a Deluxe that was equipped with the option.
