The one book by Pete Licastro(a friend of mine)who wrote the Corvette book "Birthplace Of Legends" has a good bit of C3s on the St. Louis assembly line.

Thanks guys, I guess I'll be getting some books for Christmas 
Would your friend have any pictures that didn't make it into the book?

I was able to tour the St. Louis Corvette assembly plant before it closed. Night and day compared to the new Bowling Green Plant.

The only place that seems to have it is Cranes Corvette, and I have been told that it is actually out of print.
It is expensive, but compared to the other books I have it is very, very detailed and came in very handy for my 69 and for a customers 69 I am doing now.
