Just my own opinion!!!
How does any one dispute what the original owner stated???
From what I know from other corvette forums Clem is very well thought after, how can anyone dispute what he's states???

Just my thoughts

As to what Brian said earlier about the original owners/eye witnesses being treated as if they have "no clue"... The same exact thing happens to the Norwood factory workers today on many issues relating to historical production practices.

This is not isolated to entrenched positions on the originality of a specific vehicle as the same kind of bickering repeatedly happens when production artifacts are produced or information is disseminated that conflicts with the established group think on a topic.


It is sad that that is the way the hobby has become - if we could just work together there is much to be learned.

original owners have many times made errors about their cars... let's face it. It was many years ago... the original owner of one of my 67 Z's said he broke 10's in the quarter mile...

but I do not think this is the case here !!! possibly not OE, but I definitely believe it was some shade of light purple...

again jmho

Just a heads up to keep this civil.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: William</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Look up #81 on AutoColorLibrary.com under '69 Oldsmobile-looks very similar to EO but in reality is much lighter. Maybe that's why the owner was disappointed? </div></div>


I believe this very well could have been the case.. And whos to say GM even called to confirm the change.. They could have made the change on their own to the Sunset Silver Metallic. But again the photos of the car from the time and the photos of the car before restoration it is clearly not Cortez.

Ok so the owner orders Special paint in EO and somebody at the plant decides or intentionally orders the wrong paint?

Pictures fade over time and various factors come into play. The light will reflect off the car differently or car was dusty or dirty at the time of the photo. INMHO...

That looks like EO on the roof to me.

Simply giving another perspective.. And as far as I know SSM may be the same as EO and it was simply a name change.. IDK..
