COPO 9560 = '69 Camaro with ZL1 engine

COPO 9561 = '69 Camaro with L72 engine

EDSEL FALCON = OLDSMOBILE VEGA...

BTW, do you recall the Part # on the BIG BOX the '12 COPO drove out of, @ SEMA?

20129560... 2012 for MY, 9560 for "heritage"...



The GOOD part about the Falcon is it prompted GM to create the Chevy Twice...which begat the Camaro-Nova...and of course the Falcon begat something called a "Mustang"...

Edsel?! Well...a 1000 comics would have to work a lil harder to come up with 15 minutes of jokes!

Thanks for the education on that. I suspected something like that but had no idea.

Oldsmobile wasn't a failure until the 80s. If I recall correctly, the Chevy Chevette and Oldsmobile Cutlass were the number 1 selling cars for a period of 77 through about 81.............right about the time the Japanese started to have real alternatives.

...and then Olds started calling EVERYTHING Mid-sized a Cutlass...Cutlass Ciera, Cutlas Calais, Cutlass this 'n Cutlass that...pretty much wore the edge off the cutlass (no caps) till they felt so <insert here> they abandoned the name for something much more Intrigue-ing...which apparently wasn't...

Thank you, SoapBoyz!

But I digress...

Lovely morning, here, by the Lake! How's your neck of the woods?

ShnOmac, with the quick and sudden appearance of Spring, back East, I may be forced to put the "ShnOman" moniker in hibernation till MUCH later this year...

Grab the carrot, burn the coal, store the hat...and we'll see if resurrection is possible, later...

Speaking of resurrection, I'll share my lamest Easter-type "joke", if no one takes it seriously:

"Drop that cross, one more time, and you're out o' the parade..."
