It's amazing how popular white wall tires were & how they changed the look. Also noted. I don't think I saw a ducted hood except on the pace cars & not many spoilers.....unlike todays car shows

I noticed the photo for Ed Priester Chevrolet had a strange combination. A '69 coupe (apparently new) sitting on the showroom floor...with Rally-Sport side script and an SS hood. Engine ID emblems appear to my old eyes to be 327. If so, then an early '69.
Dealer addition or

?

Thanks. Someone named "Jaybird" has been researching these yearbooks and compiling them at his blog for several years. He updates his blog with new findings regularly. Click on the following link to see all of the other makes and models: https://annualmobiles.blogspot.com/

I agree Joe, I also noticed the 2 pace cars with the ZL-2 hood. Love the white walls. I really like the representation of the DX-1 striping. Also the pin striping above the wheel openings, and when was the last time you saw a 69 SS Camaro running wire wheel hubcaps? Or any full hub caps? very cool.
And while I appreciate and lived the Muscle Car scene of my youth with the mods and speed parts, I really like seeing the cars before they had owners make the cars more personal. Kind of gives the perspective of the blank canvas, that Chevrolet provided. Years later people are removing all the personal touches made over the years, and going back to a clean slate. What is old is new again...

Interesting to see how many of the featured cars had D96 pinstripes. Very nice collection of pictures! Thanks for sharing.

Several Uniroyal RWL and w/s tires in those photos.

any Polyglass,,,?

ZLP955 · « **Reply #29 on:** June 12, 2020, 10:29:10 PM »

Also noted the grille emblem placement on the Z/28 models.

BULLITT65 · « **Reply #30 on:** June 13, 2020, 12:22:50 AM »

Yup. interesting the last one is slightly more left than most. Way closer than others I have seen though.

Here's another one from the 1969 model year that "Jaybird" has posted to his blog since the last time I looked.

A couple more from the 1969 model year that "Jaybird" has posted to his blog since the last time I looked.

69 SS 350 X-55 · « **Reply #33 on:** August 20, 2022, 02:43:00 PM »

Noticed the early ad for Sonic Drive In , Service at the speed of Sound ! and a chrome breather top on one of the SS from Bradley Chevrolet. Real adjustment for all those folks that claim this that ,the other factory options that did / didn't come as options . Would like to see some interior shots that matched the exterior trim packages. Real eye opener for me. Thanks for posting this. Good luck to all on your projects.

"Jaybird" has posted additional 1969 model year advertisements to his blog since the last time I visited his site.

Love that all three are pictures that show performance models (SS & Z28).
