Model Year Question -
I was just wondering, thought one of you would know -
What Model Year was in production in late August of 1969?
I want to know because of a curiosity, and since the current model years are a bit shifted ('05 coming out in July of '04), what was Chevy doing with MY releases a few decades ago?

That was an odd year as the '69 was still in production in Aug '69. Normaly the change over is in july but the '69 stayed in production until Dec '69 (Sept 68 - Dec 69).

1969 was a strike year for the UAW at GM. They may have been on strike at that time.
1970 production started in late Dec 1969. My 70 was the 2200 produced with a build date of Jan 20

... and for an extra dose of trivia...
the first '69 Corvette built in August of '69 was serial # 25876, and the last one built in August was # 28107. That's 2,232 Vettes built that month. Just another piece of information you'll never need...
