Default December 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe photos

Showed a friend of mine my 69 SS Sedan today. He has always told me about the Fathom Blue SS396 300 Deluxe L78 he bought new. Today I was able to get the pics he took of the car the day after he brought it home in November or December 1969 in Evanston, IL.
I had always thought he meant it had been a 2Dr Sedan, but see now it was a hardtop 300 deluxe SS.

There are 2 more after this that were taken when he was stationed in Texas. They're on slides so I'll have to scan them differently.

He told me these pics were taken the day after he brought it home. He added the Sun tach already, but I don't think he changed the air filter that soon.
