Starting a restoration on a 69 X33 car that was purchased directly from GM by Phillips Petroleum in Oklahoma City, OK. The delivery dealer was Naquin Chevrolet in Indiana. I know this car has an interesting history and story behind it, but haven't nailed it done yet. Was given some theories behind the car being an executive car, test car, or a car used for advertising. Any ideas, leads, information would be greatly appreciated!

Tom Naquin in Elkhart?

Yes. Tom Naquin Chevrolet. I spoke with the GM and there are no remaining records from back then.

----Terry Carney (RIP) was good friends with one of the Naquins. He has a summer home up here on Harsens Island, Mi. I usually run in to him once or twice a summer......Bill S
