What was the "Corvette climate" like? Were sales slow because of the promise of the "all new" Corvette that was coming? Or were 67's desirable because prospective owners wanted to grab the old body style? Were 67's being more heavily discounted at that point in time?
I'm curious, because I'm trying to take myself back in time nearly 40 years and understand the thinking of the individual who purchased my late-May built 67, sold new at Jack Head Chevrolet in Alhambra, CA.
And why would someone buy, in Southern California, a dark green car with black vinyl soft top and black vinyl hardtop? I remember how hot the sun can be there! Would he buy it for the looks? Would the dealer have ordered it that way? (Saddle interior, fortunately)
Thanks for your input!
