Larry Oct 27th, 02, 6:43 PM It's never been confirmed that hood and deck stripes were ever available for '69, even as a dealer installed option. There have been rumors, and they're mostly attributable to statements made in Paul Herd's Chevelle restoration book, which no one would ever say contains only the gospel truth. Joey B Oct 28th, 02, 10:26 AM I do not beleive 70 style stripes were ever offered in 69, late year or otherwise. I don't know if any dealers ever painted them on, but that doesnt make them any more "correct" anyhow IMO. The 69 side stripe looks good, and really dresses up the car. I wasn't sure if i liked it at first either, but when i compare pictures of my el camino before i put it on versus after, i can't beleive i ever resisted putting it on... It is a decal, (was a decal originally too) and is available through any supplier you choose. I'd just make sure it is 3M vinyl.

I still giggle when i see the pic of the rare 4 spoke olds wheel in the 70 SS... i wonder how many guys have those in their cars today as a result of that picture... ------------------ My 69 SS Elco (http://members.aol.com/joeybsyc/elcooutside.jpg) engine (http://members.aol.com/joeybsyc/elcoengine.jpg) interior (http://members.aol.com/joeybsyc/elcointerior.jpg) | ||
