The 8.2 Chevy cover has the upside down V, similar to the Chevy 12 bolt cover. The corporate 7.5 cover is more oval shaped. There were also at least 2 different car 12 bolt covers. The Chevy cover is the one pictured. The "O" rear end was used in the Cutlass and 442 from '68 to '70 and the cover looks slimilar to the corporate 8.5 10 bolt cover, but with 12 holes.

Passenger: “May I have a window seat? I like to watch the clouds go by.”
Agent: “I’m sorry sir. Those seven seats are sold, but we do have 792 middle seats available at no extra charge.”

:haha:

It's an unused PR/brochure photo. You can see why it was rejected. The tree overpowers the frame. Your eyes focus on it as opposed to the car. That's a no-no when your goal is to sell the car via a photo.

Don't throw away your used dryer sheets. Save em. They make great eyeglass cleaners.

Nils Bohlin, he may have saved more lives globally than anyone who hasn't cured a disease. He invented the first three-point seatbelt, which was 1st sold in a Volvo PV544 in 1959.

Parents took me to see it at Radio City Music Hall. First time at the movies, first time in NYC. We lived out on Long Island. I was 8 years old (1959). And the best part . . . we took the Long Island Railroad to get to the city. LOL - that was my highlight of the trip. First time I rode the LIRR.

F4F Wildcat modified in 1956 to ferry 4 passengers. Now resides with the Collins Foundation if I am not mistaken.
