I have personally never seen this and have made 69 Chevelles the focus of my hobby for 30 + years. If GM ran the black up to the trunk seals, I'd like to know that as well and from which factory. |

I've owned this Chevelle for 33 years now and it's part of the family.

Has anyone else seen the black tail panel painted up to the trunk seal on a KC built '69 Chevelle?
|
I've got 2 KC '69s here. Both were painted between the moldings not above the upper moldings. Both had the black paint extended on the quarter extensions also, supporting the belief that the quarter extensions were painted on the car but temporarily extended maybe 1/2" to get the paint in all areas and not bridge between the two.
I've personally stripped both cars of their original paint. I've also had quite a few SS parts cars that were only painted between the moldings. Some were Fremont cars, a couple more KC cars. Not saying it couldn't have happened, but my take on assembly line anomalies...I'd go with the mainstream unless I had iron clad documentation. It'd still be a tough call, knowing I'd constantly have to defend the decision. |
Thanks for the info on your Chevelles. I guess it will be one of those mysteries that won't have a definite answer. I've learned that things happened at different plants over the years that didn't always agree with the assembly manual.
