Re: A new Chevelle addtion to the "family"
It varies from plant to plant. Some use one each, some use both plastic and some use all metal. It is very common to see the battery side on Baltimore cars as plastic or both plastic while I rarely see plastic on Leeds cars as an example.
Overspray on the underside of the hood is also common though this one is really heavy compared to most that I see. Very nice original car. I see the lack of chrome trim on the bucket seat bottoms. Curious about that as I normally do not see chrome on seat bottoms of SS cars but do on Malibu's.

What a great, sharp survivor! Needs some Cragars or stock wheel covers and then leave it alone.

Re: A new Chevelle addtion to the "family"
Hey Bruce,
Great car and fits well with the other family members. Gary should have a lot of fun with it. Its hard to beat a red/red car for curb appeal. So, can I be a distant cousin with my Chevelle? Say Hi to the girls!! Later Buddy, Dave SoCal

Re: A new Chevelle addtion to the "family"
Hi Bruce,
I took the spare out of the trunk...and it is a flashback to day one. Bright red steel wheel, with a dual white line whitewall bias ply tire. As OEM as they come. The old Granda Ma never changed the tire...and looks to have forgotten the 5 tire rotation schedule.
