With car lots chock full of new cars these days, seems like it's easier to pick a car off the lot or have the new car dealer swap with another dealer.
How was most ordering done "back in the day?" Paul |

'73 2.0 Phoenix Red/Black Vinyl... special ordered thru Coliseum Porsche VW in Ft. Wayne, IN..
Only thing the Dealer installed was the Radio Motorola IIRC Oh, yeah, Heated Rear Window; but I think that was a factory option... What a Beauty! A '74 Vette tried to outrun me one night on US30 to Lima, OH. We both topped out at about 110 - 120! Boy, was he P.O.'ed Of course, the '74 Vettes weren't anything to brag about... he just thought he should be able to shake off the piece of orange snot hanging on his bumper! |
