The main reason for asking is that when I first bought my Chevelle it still had the original paint and the black on the tail panel was painted all the way up to the trunk lip like a Camaro. I had never seen this before and thought someone had repainted this area. When I took it to the painter I told him to paint that area like the pictures shown here. Years later I saw a couple of 69 Chevelles with the tail panel painted like mine had been and one owner told me that was correct for KC Leeds plant cars. Mine was built in July at the Leeds plant. There was also a short discussion with NCOA members about this years ago but nothing came of it. I've always wondered if I made a mistake on how my Chevelle was painted and was hoping someone here could provide an answer.
