Here are a couple more St Louis assembly line images:

1) This was the 1966 convertible, that was in front of the previous 9-28-65 coupe body drop.
As you can see, therez a difference in blackout coverage... even during sequential builds:

Jack,

Great photos.

I can see on the ‘69 that the muffler blackout is extensive and pretty neat. So much for my previous statement that the blackout coverage decreased with successive model years.

On the ‘66 convertible, can you lighten up the close-up image to make it possible to see more of the muffler details?

Sorry... that was the best I could do (it has significantly more blackout coverage, with some runs towardz the rear of the car).
