I can attest to the silver cove panel as mine is equipped like that. I also have
pictures of an *unrestored
survivor* that I will have to scan to show you. This car was exactly the same as
mine, with the 283/PG, silver
cove, small fender flags, and Chevelle hood and grill. However, it *does* have the
rockers along the rear
quarter, similar to my car. The car I have photos of (which incidently, I have more
pictures of than my own
car) didn't have a clock in the console, but instead had a Beaumont emblem.
