Re: [Chevelle-List] GM Strike

dale:
in the summer of 1969 they went on strike. it was during the model change over. not sure about chevelle but Camaro had a new body style coming out and because the change over hadn't happened they kept making the 69.  the 69 Camaro was made until DEC 1969. the new Camaro was then called a 70 1/2 and showed up in Feb of 70.
i have heard of many 70 models (GMs) having parts made 4 or 5 months before assembly. also has anyone ever seen a chevelle from 68 I believe with BOP interior? Seems there was a shortage at some chevelle plants and instead of stopping production they used bop interior packages.
