Title: D90 stripe - dealer sales album
Post by: abiddle on October 21, 2015, 11:52:31 PM: I put this in the General Discussion forum because a million posts came up when I searched D90 stripe. I can do the reading and I'm sure someone will give me a very short ruling on the stripe and fender extension. My SS already had a repaint with no stripes, so I'm planning to repaint correctly some day in the far future.

These pics are from the dealer album and I found this interesting to show the discrepancy in pics vs sales info in 1969. As I'm paging through the album, this stuff jumps out. Pics so the stripe onto the extension, drawings show the stripe stop at the extension.

Just for the record, cars used for print ads are virtually never production units.

Thanks - Andy

Popular Hot Rodding tested an L89/TH400 Camaro SS in the April '69 issue; photos show the car was built with the 2nd design stripe. The car still exists; 124379L507834. Tag shows 11A; car was final-assembled on or about November 7, 1968.

Since styling would have had to approve the change both plants would have been affected. The Assembly Manual is vague on where the stripe terminates.
