Nice picture! Do you remember the approximate price? What is on the tires, is it shadows, they look odd in that picture.

What's amazing is how much the surroundings have changed since. Look at the service department and mechanic's (now technicians and rightfully so) uniform.
Great picture! It brings back lots of memories.

Default Here's my new 69

Also bought in California..December 15th, 1968.

I still own the car... In the process of restoration right now .. (about to be painted)

It's an L46 .. Fathom Green... Bought at Baher Chevrolet in... paid $5600 for it.

I was 25 when the photo was taken... I am (throat clearing) closing in on 75 years old.

Hello Ralph

If you are serious in contacting the seller - his telephone # is listed in the Ebay ad. Keep us posted if you are pursuing to purchase the car. Donnie's classic cars (909-200-5387)

Regards.
