Hi Rodney and C-R list members,

I have a same question for a long time (5-6 years). I have three all chrome Paramount but two (67%) are Prugnat. Theproduction year 68 and 71.

I have bee asking list member before and looking at eBay auctions for several years, then I have been seeing quite often (overall impression of 30-40%?, not accurate satistic study, by any means), but I was told only one or less(?), but I do not think it is true.

They appears more often and 3 year time spread? It is a mystery to me.

Have a great evening!
