What is 'Hot Car' in a 1966 broadcast sheet?

-
Interesting. My 1967 sheet doesn't have that box in that location. It has "69 N/C SERVICE WITH/WITHOUT GAS", "691 SOLD CAR", "692 PAINT & TRIM EDIT WAVER", "69 SHOW CAR FINISH A OR B" and "699 SPECIAL ORDER".
It would be put in the 69* box "69 SHOW CAR FINISH A OR B"
The box isn't for a specific code (69 isn't a code) and typically used for codes that are incompatible so can share the same box.

A photo clearly showing the code is 696 here

Here's a description of "New Car Service for All Customer Driveaways"
 
Interesting. They don't list that number in the factory service manual, but, all my Formula S Barracudas have come with that radiator.....either with or without a factory shroud. I just happened to see the 75 code under your radiator heading on the broadcast sheet.
 
"Hot Car" means you can fry an egg on the passenger sear on a summer day.
My rally red with black vinyl top Challenger was sitting out in front the house. The 17 year old girl that lived next to my wife and I unwrapped a whole package of Kraft Singles and placed them all over the car.
So melted cheese squares all over the car.
I had to keep telling my wife she looks like an adult but is 17 you will end up introuble. The mom said it is a prank get over it. She's a kid.
 

Makes me wonder if “hot car” may be something like “customer is waiting”, or “hot” for it. Think Dealer Prep time….

Maybe there was a box the dealer could check-off if a customer paid a little extra to have it delivered and prep’d quicker…..
I agree with you, on being a "SOLD" car and lot one going to a lot and sit. Nothing to do with climate control.
