69 Chevelle SS in the new Transformers movie
(Preview)
Just saw the new Transformers movie with my son. They had a 69 Chevelle SS in the movie? It was the same color as Jon H's convertible, but a coupe with black vinyl top. Don't know that I have seen a 69 in a movie before? Great movie, non stop action. The Megan Fox replacement was very nice, if I don't say....
