N100020,  “The Accessory Detroit Convention Unveil Car”, was delivered on June 3, 1966 from Fisher Body as coach #DD20D.  Like all F-Body Pilot Prototypes at Norwood, it started its hand built assembly in consecutive VIN number order as the twentieth build of the engineering study.  One of three on Fleet and Special Order # 5-3 made by Sales Convention Detroit, it carried model # 12667.  This red on black convertible was the seventh Camaro convertible ever built.  With a 327 cubic inch power plant and a power-glide automatic transmission, its presence in the latter portion of the General Motors Jam Handy Video with Bob Lund, Assistant General Sales Manager narration, make this an impressive piece of early Camaro history.  It was required to be received by D. Reeves at the General Motors Tech Center on or around August 1, 1966 for photo shoots and video, but was shipped seven days late.   Because of the extremely late “Vehicle Required at Destination” date, our research and interviews have shown that all Pilot Prototypes still in storage at the Pilot Prototype facility were used as assembly test mules.  NCRS certificates show #20 being returned to corporate, Zone 0 and it is thought to have been used as a company promotional vehicle shortly thereafter. Extensive and exhaustive history searches have gleaned no documented ownership history.  Current whereabouts and existence is unknown as of 3-1-2015.
