you won't care what other people's 1969's are going to look like. But we'll tell
you anyway.
This particular model? with its formal "notchback" roof line? is the most

it's styling, riding comfort or just plain painstaking workmanship, we know that
putting you first keeps us first. And we can't blame other carmakers for wanting
to catch up.
But meantime the thing for you to do is drop down and have a talk with your
Chevrolet dealer now. Great as our styling looks on this '68 Impala, we can't
promise it's going to look so good on a '69 something else.
