Is this post in the right spot or should it be in research? thanks

Hello, I’m new to the forum. Thanks for the opportunity post. I have a phs documented 1968 firebird convertible 400, loaded, pink with white interior. It was a gm internal ordered car and purchased by gm. it was photographed for high performance pontiac magazine a few years ago. It was candy orange at the time. They talked to nancy sinatra’s manager about being in the photo shoot. She was very excited but disappointed she couldn’t do it because she had a concert that evening. She said he could interview her for the magazine later. I never saw the magazine. Does anyone remember it and if so can they email me the text and magazine issue date or post it here on the site? I also have a few
other questions which I hope some others might like to know the answer to. I will also email nancy the same questions and post any replies I get. I will also email paula reck who was the runner up in 1968 miss America contest and official Pontiac spokesperson. I personally spoke with her at the time of the photo shoot but she was busy and asked me to call back but I never did.

What print ads or commercials did Pontiac feature a pink or other color 400 convertible in with or without nancy? I think there was a print ad with her wearing a fluffy pink sweater and a commercial where she sang the boots song and got in the car.

Where can I see or get those ads?

Nancy has stated that delorean gave her a pink convertible in 1967 for her movin with nancy show which aired late December 1967. The color was fashioned from a tube of pink lipstick, probably hers. There is a black and white picture showing the back end of it in her garage with her in the foreground and a 1957 thunderbird. Since it was late in the year was this a 1968 car, why would he give her a left over 1967?

What engine size and interior color was this car?

Did Pontiac give a car away to anyone in the 1968 miss usa contest and if so what was it, model, color, options etc?

Thanks for any info you have.

From JohnZ (another CRG member and author of http://www.camaros.org/assemblyprocess.shtml, among other articles and who worked at LOR):

We built at least two pink '68 Firebird convertibles at Lordstown for DeLorean to give to Nancy Sinatra when they were dating; pink paint, pink leather, pink tops, pink everything.

She wrecked the first one and we built a second one to replace it.

The pink interior and convertible top WERE a bit much, but that's the way they were built; I recall the Production Control guys saying that the top and interior parts came from some outfit in California, not from the usual Fisher Body trim plants.
