[1969] Looks like a 69

[Brian Gruis]

You guys are good detectives.  Looks like it is a '68, as he has posted the VINs on the ad.  I never would have thought to look at the rear-view mirror.

And you own TWO Cortez silver '69s?!  I saw my first one at the '69 reunion
at the 1999 Vair Fair in Richmond.  The car really looked sharp.  It's
interesting to see how vehicle color popularity changes with the times.   You
can't go anywhere today without seeing a silver car.

I agree, 
It looks like a 68' to me the seats have no head rests and do look pretty
lilght.
