I have come across some cool color film footage on Youtube that shows that multiple yellow 1969 Camaro RS/SS Convertibles with Endura bumpers were used to parade some of the race drivers around the track prior to the Labatt's 50 SCCA Can-Am event held at Le Cirquit Mont-Tremblant, St. Jovite, Quebec, Canada on June 15, 1969.  The other drivers were chauffeured around in multiple orange 1969 Firebird 400(?) convertibles and multiple green 1969 GTO convertibles.  See the footage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_-3wo6uiAw  The title is mislabeled "1968" but it is definitely 1969.

There were 12 or more 1969 Camaro RS SS yellow convertibles that GM of Canada used as promotion to parade drivers for 1969 Can-Am series. They were all identical with 396-325 hp, auto, standard white interior, remote mirror, deluxe belts, endura, cowl hood, chambered exhaust and all of them were shipped to Canada on May 7, 1969.

Wow!  Thanks for that information.  I wonder how many of those still exist.

Billboard for Village Chevrolet in pit lane.  Their name was on the pace car so they probably supplied it to the track.

I captured these images several years ago from a film of the race that no longer appears on Youtube.

Not only did the Camaro pace the Can Am event it also was used as the pace car for a huge Ferrari parade that took place prior to the race.

A 1969 Camaro RS/SS 396 Z11 convertible was used as the pace car for the Inver House SCCA Can Am race held at the Bridgehampton Race Circuit in Bridgehampton, New York on Sunday, September 14, 1969.  The car has "Bridgehampton Race Circuit" on the front fenders, "OFFICIAL PACE CAR" on the doors and "Village Chevrolet" on the rear panels.  It has an Endura front bumper and aftermarket wheels.  Denny Hulme won the event in his McLaren M8B Chevrolet.

This same car was used to pace the SCCA Trans Am race held at the track in June 1969.  Clink here to see my post on that race: http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=19048.msg172398#msg172398
