Chevrolet Division Special Order Car

[Rich C.]

I just learned from my NCRS Shipping Data Report that my '67 big block roadster was delivered directly to the Chevrolet Division of GM. Does anyone know how I might obtain additional information about my car? I was told by Roy Sinor at NCRS that the car was likely ordered for a GM exec.

Hi Rich ! I would say Roy is probably right. Is your car an early VIN ??

It could have been for a big wig at the main office, or it could have been a Zone manager car. If you know the state where the car was delivered, look into that state's DMV or Dept of Licensing and see if they will do a search for you. I did the same thing in Oregon for my 1968 4-4-2 convertible and found out it was a zone manager car (ordered by the Portland office to be owned by the Oldsmobile Division of General Motors). In addition, Oregon DMV gave me the entire history they had of the car, including the 3 months that a zone manager drove the car, followed by the 8 months that the car belonged to a dealership, and when my dad bought the car from that dealership. The documentation was real interesting and it nailed the history of that car's first year (it has been in our family since my dad bought it in March 1969).

Hope this helps.

I need to add that, if it was a zone manager car, the VIN doesn't necessarily need to be an early one. Zone manager cars were brought in new from the factory throughout the production year. My '68 4-4-2 had an early April 1968 production date.

The car is an early VIN, #284. According to my Shipping Data Report the car was delivered directly to Chevrolet Motor Division in Michigan, which is Dealer code 568 in zone 0.

Hey Rich ! Do you have any history at all to go on ?? Any idea what states the car may have been registered in ?? If you PM me your VIN, I will be gladto see if I have any clues in my system for you.

Actually I said I had no clue, it could have been a Chevrolet advertising car, executive car, etc. , the records simply show Chevrolet Division, Michigan. Apparently it did not go to engineering as that is a different dealer number.
