The 69 and 70 fullsized chevies were very clean attractive cars. The exception being the awkward proportions of the custom coupe roofline. One unfortunate aspect of the 69 and 70 was the cheapening of the dashboard. This happened across all full and midsized GM cars in 69. Chromed metal was replaced with cheap flimsy plastic trim. It also created all kinds of electric glitches due to grounding issues related to the plastic bezels requiring ground straps and stripped plastic studs that loosened nuts. A shame because they were otherwise great models.

Did I miss it or was the Z/28 not mentioned at all?

Damn, wish I had a time machine.

There were two out right lies that they told their salesmen in this film. 1, it claimed they were the only full sized brand that offered two distinctive 2 door hardtop roof styles, that wasn't True, Ford and Plymouth both offered two different 2 door hardtop styles on the Galaxie and Fury. Additionally, it claimed that the locking steering wheel and transmission shifter anti theft device was exclusive to Chevy. That too wasn't true, it was a Federal Standard that was promulgated for 1969......boy, oh boy, such fibs!

I sure love this training video!! wish my dad was still alive he'd love this !! parents bought a new 69 Belair ❤❤❤

I have owned 5 Chevelles… two were 68s. Excellent cars and I feel the best looking.

Some Biscaynes, had the 427.

the 396 and 427, had a THM 400 three speed auto. the rest, had either Powerglide, or a THM 350 auto. tran.

The only automatic on Chevy and Canadian Pontiac, should been a three speed.

Very nice simple design with no gingerbread

😍❤💯👍

😍❤💯👍

Some had the 427/425 with solid cam and rect. port heads and a 4 speed to, at least the 68 did.

Most of the Bel Airs & Biscaynes had the 250 6cyl engines & three speed manual on them.

Love these old film strips. I have a VCR copy from Chevrolet sport dept. that talks about all the hi performance stuff. Z/28 Camaro Chevelle SS.They talk 396 cylinder heads NC-8 exhaust ect. Best one I seen yet The best part is them comparing the mustang lol. They throw it under the bus. I wish I had a email to discuss this with the CRG. I’ve had this tape o er 20 years now

1968 was the last year for the Chevy II name. From 1969 toward the final year for the old X-body (1979), it was just called Nova.

108 inches, 4 passengers, true, Rally Sport, 140, 18 gallons.

Excelent car

Base engine was a 307 two barrel producing 200 horsepower. The 327 two barrel was a option for 1969 Camaro(s). I owned a 69 with the 307 engine mated to a power glide transmission. These transmission had two gears, low and high. A lot of people liked the 2 speed because the power loss from the crankshaft to the drive wheels was less than the turbo hydromatic three speeds.

I notice they didn't talk about the awkwardly high cowl line 'cause they borrowed it from the Chevy II...

1967 was the last year for the Corvair 500 and Monza sport sedans.

This is like a Dodge style

67 is the first Camaro and the best .

Wait you can get the Mustang with more HP. Why did they gloss over that like I didn’t hear or see it? wtf brah 🤔

Had to dislike video too many f_cking ads a_shole!

1967 was the last year they actively marketed the Corvair. A shame, by 1966 they had pretty much perfected the car but GM management was ready to cancel it.

Impala is one of the longest-running brands in Chevrolet history - the last Impala was the tenth-generation.

Why are potential customers referred to as "prospects"? Is that a term unique to the auto industry?

These are the displacements of the 1969 Nova engines when converted from cubic inches to liters: Fours and sixes 153 cubic inches = 2.5 liters 230 cubic inches = 3.8 liters 250 cubic inches = 4.1 liters V8s 307 cubic inches = 5.0 liters 350 cubic inches = 5.7 liters

In the early 80's I bought a well used '68 Camaro 327 ci, 210 hp, 2-Sp powerglide column shift. All I can say is it didn't stay this way for very long - big performance upgrades. Still kicking myself for eventually selling it. Big mistake. Thanks for vid; still dreaming about first generation Camaros - the best Camaros in my opinion.

This is so classic! Awesome!

The base V8 for 69 Camaro was the 307, not the 327.

I’ve never seen a column mounted manual transmission on a camaro , my guess is that most of them were driven into the ground back in the day .

no nova ss 521 69 corvair monza conv where built

the four doors were hideous

Why did the race 427 Corvette have 5 hp less than the street version?

B.s then as well as now.G.M. wants my c.7 Corvette and wants me to order a c 8 lol.all bullshit.

Love it!

Was Camaro SS' 350 V8 a "Turbo-Fire" or "Turbo-Jet"?

0:40,I owned one !69RS,4speed,1:33 Oh my!

MMMMM, always thought only the Z had the optional 4 wheel discs available? Still might like the Blonde better?? I had 3 1st gen Camaro's, miss #2 the most, Yenko clone, 67 RS 427/425 with 456 12 bolt and 4 speed==POWER

Car and Track DESTROYED a 69 with 396 2 barrel, said performance was TERRIBLE and handling mentioning springs just as bad

American muscle at its best. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Classic

Thought i knew novas... never had a clue about the 4 cyl option.. awesome video....

This was the first of the so-called "mako shark" Corvette C3s that were derived from Bill Mitchell and Larry Shinoda's 1965 Mako Shark II concept car.

I passed the written exam at the end!

Love vintage promo materials like this - awesome cars and funny hairstyles

Thanks for sharing this educational video. Flat out awesome! Great archive.

1969 was the year when the Chevy II/Nova became simply the Nova. In the next few years, GM added the Pontiac Ventura, the Oldsmobile Omega and the Buick Apollo.
