Correct XT Wheel color for Fathom Blue

[mnyenko]

They should be painted body color on the front. Left black with some over spray on back. Earl

Thanks guys for the info. I also own a 1970 Nova Classic White that I purchased from an elderly lady that had 47,000 original miles back in 94 that matches what John stated it had the stainless full wheel covers and black painted stock steel wheels. I was looking in my brochure collection and found that the 72 Novas may have deviated from this that I have attached that prompted me to ask about this subject.

definitely body color

The wheels will always look a little darker than the body with the fathom blue. You have a small area for contrast that doesn't reflect the light as well and some folks don't clear the wheels..just use the base color. will try to post pic.

Beautiful Car Wilma!!! Is that the Marine Corp.s car with XTs ? I have always admired your cars and glad I could get yours and Sullys input also. I would like to see a pic of Sullys car also if possible as I have never seen it. My car is a Fullerton/Anaheim CA. L78 with the Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner and Zero chrome down sides or doors and drip rails. M21 and 3:55s. I have owned 2, 69s and 3, 70s and a 72. Now I'm down to 2, 70s. I'm trying doing a concourse resto on the L78 and appreciate all the info I get from this knowledgable site. I still need to re:up my NNN membership. Thanks again Kim
