Yeah, I ran across a photo like that myself. Maybe this one?

Also, trying a new wheel.

I think the stripe and the wheel look great on that car.

[Greg Reid]

I like the wheels... Not crazy about the stripe.

I've only seen a few cars with these stripes, but thought they were kind of neat because they're different.
So now that my car has been brought back from the brink after 34 years, I figured I'd try them...but I was hesitant to have them painted since I wasn't sure how they'd look.
So I opted to go with auto parts store 'tape' first to make sure that I actually liked them.
Since it's $10 cheapo pinstripe, it's not exact to the factory specs, but it does give you an idea, which was all I wanted.
I know the placement is probably off a little bit though.
Jury is still out, but I do kind of like the way it looks with them.
I'm going to leave it as-is for now until I decide if I want to make this permanent with paint.

Greg,

This is how I read the assembly manual drawing.

Yeah, I was in the same boat myself. For me it's not enough of an effect to go to the trouble of painting it. Also, it brings attention to some less than perfect body lines in that area on my car. Looks good on yours though!

That's the same way I see it Charles. I was just a little hazy on whether that 'Bottom' line was .120 or .180.

This forum is awesome! I was looking for info and a member directed me here and I have spent the last few days finding everything I was looking for.

I am a long ways from finishing restoring my 69 GTO but one of the options listed is D98 accent stripe (Tape). The car was painted in the early 70’s so have no idea what it originally looked like. I had assumed it was the judge stripe and was thinking it would look good. So not as excited about this pin stripe but we’ll see if it goes back on.

Cameo white with red interior and wire wheel hub caps. Would it look good or not?? Safe to say the accent stripe would of been red and tape not painted?

The pin stripes were painted by the factory. I’m honestly not crazy about the look of those stripes. I had a liberty blue 69 ragtop that had them.

I’d buy a set of the typical tape pinstripes at an auto parts store to test if you like the look or not.

Given your car s color scheme I’m sure they were red.

Alright thanks for that. When I get back home I am gonna take a little harder look in that area on the back side of the fenders to see if there’s any thing hiding in there. Looked up higher but I was looking for the typical judge stripe.

Also the ram air stickers would of still been black then? As didn’t they only come in white and black??

[north]

Ram Air decals were white, red or black from the factory.

Dont think i have ever seen this car posted before.
Brand new 1968 in a I Dream of Jeanie episode.

the rare Nightshade color too !

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

Just circled back , and see that trophy421 had already found that picture.
oh well
Just found it on the movie car site while looking for something else.

[68ragtop]

I've never seen it. Cool picture!
I wonder how much product placement marketing went on back in the 60's on shows like this.

A bunch! 'I Dream of Jeanie' used new Pontiacs, Bewitched used new Chevies, I think 'My Three Sons' also had Pontiacs? 'The FBI' and 'Andy Griffith Show' used Fords and I think there were quite a few more..

[Simple Man]

My 3 Sons did use Pontiacs. Beverly Hillbillies used Chrysler products.

The car lot I worked for in high school in 1977 had a similar nightshade 68. Never knew what the color was called. This one had white interior, hideaways, and a T400.Fell in love with GTO's after that.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

Nightshade with White/Parchment interior would have been Sweet !

Have only seen a couple of good pictures of any Nightshade cars at all.
Very rare color for 68.

They (pontiac) actually called it Nightshade Green .... but its a Grey/Pewter color all day and all night to me.

orange was red , yellow was orange , they were nuts sometimes.

I guess I was oblivious when I was young. The first time I realized it was happening was when I was maybe 12 watching a movie where a group of guys were drinking Pepsi & kept setting their soda cans down with the label perfectly facing the camera. Was pretty obvious. From that point on it kinda ruined my perspective as to why things are in movies & shows.

I didn't think about it happening retroactively in the 60's but it makes sense. Jane Hathaway could have just rang Jeds door bell, she's didn't have to pull up in a new car

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

Anyone ever known for sure what brand Jed's jalopy truck was ?

always presumed it was a Ford or Chevy .... maybe was a Dodge though ?
