Chevrolet Astrovettes, 1969. The crew of Apollo 12 - astronauts Pete Conrad, Richard Gordon, and Alan Bean - ordered custom-painted Corvette C3s. Each astronaut ordered a matching Corvette Stingray coupe, powered by 390hp, 427ci Turbo-Jet V8 engines with 4-speed wide-range transmission and PosiTraction 3.08 rear axles. Bean (the fourth person to walk on the moon who passed away in 2018) played a key role in the design of the Corvettes, choosing the black on gold color scheme. The design included distinctive black “wings” styled by Alex Tremulis, the industrial and automotive designer. The C3 Corvettes became known as the Astrovettes with the only difference between the cars being the red, white, and blue badges on each fender used to identify which car belonged to which astronaut

Iso Rivolta Fidia, 1969. After Iso founder Renzo Rivolta passed away in 1966, his son Piero took over the company with a mission to grow the brand and fill out Iso’s product portfolio. The Fidia was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, then at Ghia, who built the car using a stretched version of the Iso Grifo platform. The early "S4" cars were plagued by poor quality fit and finish and the car was relaunched in 1969 as the Iso Rivolta Fidia with changes including the replacement of the S4's 4 square headlamps with circular units. It remained in production until 1975 by which time 192 had been made. Most were powered by Chevrolet's 327ci V8 but later cars used Ford's 351ci Cleveland V8
