    It is pretty - the hidden headlamp option would really good on it.

    OMG. Thought the same thing. I would have ordered it exactly that way.

    The '69 was a great year for options. The Blue car does have Fiber Optics.

    That blue and white really pops, but the coupe is nice too. In my imaginary dreams, if I were offered one - I'd pick the 4 door hardtop. I'm a sucker for that bodystyle. And the colors and everything else with it.

    I agree, except I would want the 2-door hardtop, like my late aunt's, which was supposed to be my 'second' "first car," after Mom's Delta 88 was crunched, and subsequently traded in on her 1980 Silverado. I'd want the 2-door because of my height.

    I know it doesn't apply to this car, but I have always shied away from 4-Door HT's after experiancing my sisters 74 Grandville. After 120,000 Michigan miles you could only open the drivers side front, & the passenger side rear doors do to the body sag caused by the miles and rust. It scared me away from the body style for good.
    This one should not have any of those issues. It looks very nice

    My goodness this is a pretty car. I love the color combo. This is also an example of a car that (in my opinion) looks better in the four door hardtop configuration than it does in the two door hardtop configuration. Not something that happens very often. I'd love to own this car.

    Bet you it would take 30 or better. 30,000 miles and a 427? That guy has a beauty there. Could you imagine a Caprice wagon in that combo with that engine? Forget about it….
