Default Paint Delete?

I did the Auto Shows for around 25 years, around the bailout area, the auto makers were downsizing the booth properties, so there were extra floor space at the shows, in Cleveland one year, a Big Block Vette was coming in the hall and died. It came from a local Chev dealer that was bringing his cars in, it was in primer, I happened to be rite on the back isle so I offered him a jump, we got talking and I asked about the no paint, he said it was ordered paint delete. Showed me on the tag there it was blank or some other letter, I don’t remember what it had exactly. Pretty cool I thought.
Another year in Seattle they let a Camaro Club in, I’m up in the lounge at breakfast and the night before I was watching some Chevy HP show and the guy on tv was in front of me to get eggs, lol. So we talked, he said he comes to some shows, and was signing trunks in the Camaro booth at the show. Sedelmeyer was his name. In charge of Chevy racing or the vette program, don’t really remember. I know my buddy that did Chevy had to deal with him and Jay Leno in LA that year. One of Jays cars was on a turntable. So he was high up in GM. ( Chevy)
Well I got side tracked, how many have you seen paint delete?
