Re: NOS 70 Camaro center caps
If these were purchased on or before 1972 they would be the first design embossed caps? Right? I thought the embossed caps were used from 1970 to 1973-1974 timeframe.
Chuck, are you out there, can you shed some light on this? Paul

Re: NOS 70 Camaro center caps
I bought the embossed ones in the mid 80's from my local Chevrolet dealer my brother still has a set for his 73 Z.

Re: NOS 70 Camaro center caps
I'm of the belief that the EMBOSSED (Rare) 1st design caps were used on all 70-74 Z-28's. I do not have enough original owner data to verify this however.
I am not sure when the FLAT 2nd design with same part number came out from G.M. I also can not compare G.M.'s 2nd design to any other repop being mfg (????)

The ones in question can still be bought today. Rick H.

Re: NOS 70 Camaro center caps
The caps that came on the cars were the embossed/raised type. The parts that were sold over the counter were flat. I have the complete parts dept. from the dealership that was closed when the owner died in 1972. If it is a hassle I will just put them on ebay then everyone won't have to argue about it.
