 Roger (rabbbit64cs), you got real good eyes. I did not notice that the first time i looked at it.

It's interesting that GM's 75 Millionth car is a 62 Pontiac, as GM's 50 Millionth car was a 55 Chevy Bel-Air.  Chevrolet's 50 Millionth car was a 63 Impala convertible.   That pretty much means 2 out of every 3 cars GM produced by 62/63 that time was a Chevy.

 Almost got it right Clint...the 1955 Chevrolet was the 50 millionth GM car,

and the 1963 Chevrolet was the 50 millionth Chevrolet produced and it was a gold coloured 2 door hardtop with a 409.

 Thanks George, I did a bit more digging on the 55 Chevy and edited my post probably just as you were submitting your post.  Re the 63 Impala, I could have sworn it was a convertible as I remember them saying on "My Classic Car" that the top was put down and has never been up again.  First mistake I've ever made...

Thanks for those, I love any good factory shot not already seen!

Here's a rare glimpse into Oshawa 1967, I like to believe that's my Grande in front!
