I know it's been asked and answered probably 50 times, but I looked all around and couldn't find the answer (and I haven't gotten my new book, yet, either). Is the end of production around the middle of July, 1968? So a July 15th car is really late, right?

IIRC, July 18, 1968. The one I'm going to look at had a production date of July 3 according to the Marti Report.

...One of mine was scheduled July 17 and built July 18. I believe Doug's was too...

Late build date ...
Our GT/CS was ordered in April, scheduled for a May build, but wasn't actually built until July 3rd ... 37 days late! Maybe a lack of required parts, especially since it's a big block car? Or did they wait and make a run of similar cars? There is another GT/CS "S" code here in Victoria that is currently under complete restoration, and our car was sold in Vancouver, while that other GT/CS was sold further up Vancouver Island in Nanaimo. Did they do a production run of big block cars for the Western Canadian B7 DSO in one batch in early July? Makes you wonder doesn't it ...? (If I had my new GT/CS book I could try to look up that kind of info, but it still hasn't been delivered yet!)
:sad:
(PS Arlie: The other "S" code that is hiding out here in Victoria is a Highland Green car! When he gets it finished I'll send you some "teaser" photos ...)
