Were they still building 1969 Chevelles at that time? Which makes me think that purple on the Chevelle is a GM truck or Cadillac color? </div></div>

Hard to get a real good look but, doesn't that Mustang hardtop in that picture look like a 1970 model? If it is that might explain how he was able to get the Chevelle painted in that shade of purple. </div></div>

Yes, orange was available in late 69 in various forms. As far as I know Plum Crazy/In Violet was not.

As in my previous post, I used to own a factory purple '69 Chevy truck also knew of a '70 the same color.
Pretty sure they were a Canada only thing on the trucks but whatever paint they had may've been the same used on other factory purple 69/70 GM products?
Picture below looks the same as the one I had, pic scooped from pg.5 of this link... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=301319
