Re: love at first sight?

1975- I was a senior in high school and the local Chevy dealer had some special orders on the lot. It was a 76 SWB Fleet that was a Corvette orange color that was not available on trucks.

It had wood grain inserts, and aluminum slotted mags with white letter tires all around. Yeah, it was very 70's and I thought it was "Groovy". Unfortunately it was not in my high school senior part time job budget, so all I could do was bug the sales rep asking questions about it.

I did find out that the dealers were able to order special GM colors as long as they order "X" amount of units in that same color. It was a fleet option that they used to create some pretty cool trucks for the time.
