    Re: 1969 Canadian Export Corvette

    Hi Mike, That was a great idea to send the translation as part of the letter. Although I already sent one letter I will send another just the way you have presented it. Thanks much, Don.

      Re: You forgot option AM/FM (02U69GA)

      Wayne, what you have posted is correct. the car has a radio and a 355 posi too. soft top only and non tinted glass. Wonder why no tinted glass. The dealer is 86622, BLAIS automobiles, LTD. in Montmagny, PQ. but I'm pretty sure they are out of business. When trying to trace the dealer no one I spoke with could understand english, just french. I could not find a BLAIS Automobiles, LTD listing anywhere. What I need is someone who can help me that speaks french. Thanks, Don.

        Off photocopy of GM Canada Microfiche

        Just happen to have the sheet including Don's car. This source gives only the RPO codes (incl 02 prefix and the ECL suffix), which is a little more information than you get from GM Canada Vintage Services. That's why I knew the dealer number but didn't know where located or the name.

          Don --- thanks for sharing the Dealer name and location. Montmagny is a medium sized town an hour's drive from historic Quebec City. There's a good chance that the current Chev dealer(s) will remember Blais Auto. (see my response to Rick).

          Recruit Mike W. or Rick S. to act as intermediary in any French discussions. Both of these guys could lend a tongue.

            There's one Chev dealer in the Montmagny area,



            It appears that 'Blais' as a GM dealer is long gone.

            As previously stated one of our local chapter members may remember this car- possibly the dealership also.

              Thanks for this info Mike. I may try to call this dealership to see if someone there remembers BLAIS. You never know. Don.

                    All I see is the 'dot photo' logo.

                      Mike, if you right click on the dot photo image it will show you the URL address http//:.... which is cut and paste this URL address into your address bar and hit enter and it should take you to the picture. Let me know if this works. Thanks, Don.

                          Got it!

                          what a painful experience to make it display. I have forwarded the photo to our chapter members to see if anyone knows this car

                            Thanks Mike, I wanted to mention also that your help with a local dealer in Montmagny paid off. The son of the owner of Blais Auto works at that dealership and he is in touch with the original sales manager from Blais. I'm waiting for more information from them. They are being very helpful. The sales manager may remember who the car was sold to. I will let you know. Don
