Interesting, Dick, as usual. Continued thanks.
Points:
1. It looks like they finally decided to go with pricing the R3 engine (wholesale) a little under their cost, when you consider other items that had to be added when an R3 was specified. They certainly agonized over the R3's pricing, it appears.
2. You can bet the new, 1964 green color drawing pleasant remarks was Jet Green, notHorizon Green. Horizon Green was close enough to 1963 Green Mist that many people wouldn't have noticed. However, Jet Green was the first time a dark metallic green had been in the line since ????
3. Under LEGAL, it says Mr. Feuer had "nothing to report." That's got to be a first; a lawyer with nothing to say when he has a large, captive audience in front of him. 'Must've had laryngitis. <GGG> BP
We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Its really kind of amazing that the small details for the 64's were just being finalized with such a short time to start production. Again as I have said before, its too bad they hadn't used the Challenger name in 63 instead of the oh so bland Standard ident. Thanks Richard for passing these on. I feel like a fly on the wall and we can witness how hard these men wanted to succeed.59 Lark wagon, now V-8, H.D. auto!
