Looking for my grandfathers Chevelle

[plumL78]

If it had stripes on the hood from the factory then it wasn't a 69 chevelle. Funny i was just talking to the owner of shallcross chevrolet ten minutes ago. He is a friend of mine. His son Chris is a judge with us in the Bow Tie class for the camaro nationals. His father sold the dealership many years ago. They were a country type dealership and sold many trucks but they did sell one 67 Z.

That's true, but sometimes dealership customers - after seeing the 'band-aid' stripes on new 69 Camaros, wanted the same thing on the new 69 Chevelle they were purchasing, and the dealerships would add them on. So his grandfather's Chevelle could have had them on since day one and other family members just assumed it came from the factory that way.
