As far as the S.O.#s being so off, you'd have to ask Doug a little about ordering the car.

#1 Was it a Chrysler employee, FLEET account or "Military Order"?
#2 What was the circumstance that caused the "SHIP TO" address to be different than the "SOLD TO" dealership?
#3 What/Who is "Dallas Smith"?

Funny thing NO CHARGE for the "special order" OMAHA ORANGE.



IIRC, Doug said he bought his 68 RR right of the lot at Glendale C-P.

Yes, I noticed the paint wasn't an extra charge. Strange.

There's an article that Larry Jett wrote about 68 Orange cars. I think Scott Smith posted it once. I wonder if the region batched a group of these cars to distribute to various dealers. At first I thought these orange cars went up to northern California. But sounds like other dealers got some.

Can you tell by the window sticker numbers if the Glendale C-P car was special ordered car that someone maybe refused and was put on the lot, or did the dealer order it, or something else. Wonder if that ship to "Dallas Smith" is a link to the answer?

Isn't/Wasn't the Chrysler Parts Depot in Santa Fe Springs? Could there have been a holding lot there? It's mostly industrial there. Even more so in 1969.

Barry Washington's and others' opinions??
