1969 June Strike
I'm looking for information about the June 1969 Strike and if it's possible to have an Engine assembly date after the Fisher Body cowl tag date. And if so how much time is accecptable? I have read on the CRG Web Site that there are unusual cases where it is later, but it should be within a week of the body.

Re: 1969 June Strike
Look here for a start:
http://www.cranescorvette.com/1969_s..._guidebook.htm Here is a quote: RUNNING WEEKLY PRODUCTIONS TOTALS -YES THEY WORKED A LOT OF SATURDAYS AND NEXT PAGE SHOWS THE 8 WEEK LONG UAW-WORKERS STRIKE APRIL 10TH (THE DAY AFTER CAR #20,981 WAS PRODUCED -SEE BACK COVER) TO JUNE 8, 1969. NO CARS WERE PRODUCED DURING THIS TIME. -from : 1968-69 GUIDE BOOK BY RICK BIZZOCO Not sure how this worked out or if it applies to all models or just Corvette. I know I have seen Camaros with May dated trim tags. Also not sure if the strike affected engine plants. Have seen lots of late April casting dates, and am aware of at least one DZ motor assembled April 24. Hve seen May dated heads, distributors, exhaust manifolds etc. Did it just affect car assembly? Anyone know the scoop on this? Haven't checked out the book yet. Lynn

Re: 1969 June Strike
I assume you're talking Norwood. There was no June 69 strike there.
The strike that Lynn mentioned is St. Louis only.
