 These are considered 1^st tier promotional support vehicles and were special built for Official Chevrolet sponsored activities surrounding the Indy 500 race in April and May of 1967.

 The most known of these vehicles is  #92 , the Actual Pace Car, which set the pace lap at the Indy 500. To see the special Chevrolet Engineering Build Order #98168 click Page 1  or  Page 2

 The remaining Special Promotional Vehicles all appeared identical in appearance and all with the same options fitted as the #92 Actual Pace Car. There were however several engine and transmission combinations, these cars served in the following capacities as following: 

v     Two back up vehicles to the actual Pace car - these were the “back up” Pace cars   (We have what we believe are the two back up Actual Pace Cars in our data base, one of these two cars in our data base is actively being researched as that possible AJ Foyt prize car that was denied by him)

v     Forty-three ”Festival cars” - These were the Indy 500 “Festival Committee cars” and were used for any Indy 500 Festival duties such as the down town parade and other associated duties.

v     Ten “Speedway Vehicles” - These were in general support of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and were used by Speedway Staff. (click here for Speedway vehicle picture)

v     Twenty-five “Brass hat” cars  - these were in general service to Chevrolet Corporate VIP’s
