Is it possible they came on a Buick or Olds version of a Nova? Later model year perhaps?

I also have never seen these cardboard inserts...perhaps they were placed their like plastic on the seats...then removed during new car prep??

As for the spare...I doubt that is a factory spare tire for a 1970...the white letter option didn't come out until 71 or 72. It is certainly a vintage looking tire...I would suggest double checking the wheel size...standard wheels for base cars would be 14 x 5 plain steel...14 x 6 size was optional...the wide ovals (E70 x 14) normally were installed on 14 x 7 in 1970 (rally, SS or XT) It was more than likely added at some point...

Now back to the car...very solid looking survivor...would make a great platform for a hotrod, Deuce/SS clone, or sleeper.

Good luck..wilma
