Only the non SS 300 Deluxe models (in a Coupe or Post Sedan) were the odd and unique light light housing.

Mike,

Greg has the pictures, however here is a feature of the Chevelle in the March/April 2007 issue of Chevelle World. I will try to find the pictures of Greg reuniting the Chevelle with former owner Carlos Cendeno back in 2006 at the Can Am Grand Island Niagra Falls Chevelle Show.

As far as the Monaco Orange SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan....Greg is still continuing his research. From what he has gathered, the Monaco Orange Chevelle was purchased new from MLB to a Cy Young winning player from the 1969 season.

OMG,

What a beauty.

I am a die hard 2 door hard top lover but these post sedans are starting to pull me over to the dark side.

Fantastic restoration.

Copy that [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

I remember a blue L78 post sedan at Legendary Motorcar about a decade ago, then I see it now with a Florida collector who also has a COPO/Yenko both Lemans Blue.

I am trying to stump you, don't think it will happen any time soon.

Ryan,

James Berry currently owns it, I have known this Lemans Blue SS396 L78 300 Deluxe Post Sedan since the late 80's when the car was owned by Ralph Schram of Elmhurst, IL.
