History of Classic Series 60s Stratocaster (MiM) Experts?

Does anyone know the first year that the Classic Series 60s Stratocaster, Made in Mexico was offered by Fender? Was the Classic 60s Strat ever offered in white?

I noticed that the current 2009 Classic 60s is only offered in Black, Candy Apple Red, Sunburst, and Lake Placid Blue. I know that for a few years it was offered in Inca Silver, but I've never heard of white other than the Made in Japan or American Reissue series.

Was white ever offered as a Made in Mexico Fender Special Run or in the earlier years? Thanks for any info you can provide!

An Olympic White option is listed in a Fender catalogue (for the British market) I have dated 2002. LPB, Black and 3-colour sunburst were also listed at that time, together with the now discontinued Shell Pink and Burgundy Mist Metallic. Someone else will have to chime in with the exact year Mexico started producing the Classic Series, as I can't currently find that information - sorry.

From the "specs" for the Classic Series 60s on Fender's website:
"Introduced 1/1999"
