I love the blue on that bird w the white walls and ralleys that is a clean looking car what year was that photo? Is really clear almost so much so you’d think it was a reenactment .

She would be in some trouble using that much water out in California these days. Standing in a big puddle with water draining down into the street would get her "Cancelled" today.
Sorry, Couldn't help it.
Such a cool picture.

I can only guess, but I'm thinking 1969 to 1971 just by the condition of the tires and the late issued 1969 CA "X" series plate. That car must have been a new left over or possibly a slightly used car in late 1969.

I've seen a whole bunch of '68 cars with X series California plates. From my observations I'd consider XAE to be early in the '68 calendar year.

You're right, for some reason I was thinking "Z" all along. My old '69 GTO was issued XQD in Dec of '68 and my '69 GP was issued XFZ in Nov of '68, but I understand the area of the assigning DMV affected use also.
