Observations:

--Look at how far forward they mounted the side mirror!

--Ringless dog dish hupcaps with thin trim rings (same caps later painted polaris on the flat surface and used with slotted aluminum trim rings on early 68 2002s) ?

--old style rear view mirror mount

--embossed beltline trim with black "inserts/accents"

Cool pic. My 67 looks identical except for the black paint in the embossed part of the front trim, mine is just embossed aluminum. That was a 66 only thing, on the rear piece too. The mirror looks better up there IMHO, and it works fine in that location. I think they moved it because it limited the vent window from opening fully 90deg, but who does that anyway?
