The following 2 photos are from early prototypes of the car, based on the reflections on the car itself and the color
photos, they appear to be taken at an indoor studio location.
Notice the 1968 logo license on the 1st photo below.
That photo was probably taken in the winter of 1968/1969, early in the 1969 H/O prototype stages
due to the fact of the 1968 H/O plate logo and the Cragar type rims whereas the regular rims were not in production yet. Notice that there is no H/O
emblem on the trunk and there may not be any H/O emblems on the front fenders, probably because of the early prototype production as well.
The following 2 photo's are from the magazine 'Collectible Automobile'. This prototype was photographed at
GM's Tech Center on December 6, 1968. The rear fin and front scoop are different from the prototype photo's above, also notice the gold
stripe in the rear window!!! I'm not exactly sure if this version of the prototype came before or after the above version.
I believe the following photo's can be considered a late prototype of the car. None of the production
vehicles were available with hood locks which made buyers wonder where they were when they went to buy the car since the publicity
shots of the car were show with them. I have no idea what happened to this car but I have heard that some owners had the hood locks
installed on the car after they were purchased.
The 1st shot is from the book 'The Hurst Heritage' and the 2nd shot is an Oldsmobile Publicity photo.
