Radio deletes?

Re: Nov 11 1966

Nope...

The radio was an option then so there was no 'delete' issue...you simply had a 'base' car when it came to the issue of radio.

Jack -- Are you really asking "which one is the future L88" ?

The second one from the left is Jim Heise, who was my boss at the Chevrolet Pilot Line in 1969.

So the apparent lack of antennas in the photo means they're all (or at least the first few) base cars without radios?

Folks should understand, though, that the building which the cars are parked in front of is NOT the St. Louis Corvette Plant or any part thereof. I believe it's part of the MAIN St Louis plant which produced other model Chevrolets and trucks.

Re: Nov 11 1966

Did all of the cars have the same options and does anyone know what the color combination was for these cars?
Rick
P.S. One further question, what engine did they have if they were all the same?

Re: Nov 11 1966

Anyone know if the 67's would have been produced as one batch for the Shriners?

Jim, Rick -- not consecutive VINs, but close enough that you could call them a "batch". All in the 03xxx's. There was a NCRS article done on these, which listed the actual VINS for these '67s. Member GL Anderson has the paperwork on these cars [his father's dealership ordered the Shriner cars for many years].

Just guessing, but all cars were white with bright blue interiors. Not all had side exhaust and some may have been automatic. If GL chimes in, we'll get the whole story.
