Jeff, Some G.M. mfg plants such as Camaros at Norwood, Ohio starting in 1970 used Red Oxide primer that entire body was submerged in. Other plants used a shade of Black primer..

Maybe someone will post a complete list of cars, plant locations and primer colors.

Arlington,Tx. & Van Nuys,Ca. also used Red Oxide on their GM A-Bodies too.It's just an interesting aspect of the assembly process to those that monitor this stuff Jeff.

Willow Run, MI apparently used it as an alternate on the Nova's bec/ the majority of Novas are black primer. It's just neat to see something different.

I have 2 Arlington Chevelle's both have the red oxide primer on floors.Both are 71's. Something interesting happens to primer as it age's on one of my cars the primer faded a little as you get out towards the rocker area. It turns a pinkish rose color. It must pick up some UV Rays somehow.
