That one must have been the car-carriers, but don't remember for sure.
The '69 strike led to an extended '69 Model Year for Vette and Camaro...as witnessed by the "69.5" Camaros some think are extra valuable. the '70 versions of both cars didn't appear till about New Years...about 4 months (1/3 MY) "behind schedule"...
