1968 Cali for sale, trunk question...

[dalorzo_f]

nice looking car, but nnot sure the price matches the quality of the restoration, or the curent market, a few faded bits, but maybe just the photos...

One question, trunk shot. Shows plaid. Thought by late '68 the spatter was OEM, and that San Jose used only spatter pattern in 68. Anyone know if these were a mix of plaid and spatter? And if so if the tire cover was standard and a plaid tire cover was used with the spatter liner?

I have a spatter liner and plaid cover in mine, moderately original car, the liner sure looks old enought to be original, not sure about the cover.

Uh - nope

I have a spatter liner and plaid cover in mine, moderately original car, the liner sure looks old enough to be original, not sure about the cover.

Covers came into being in the 80-90's - none original

So when did they switch from the plaid to the spatter.

Ok, it notes all three variants may have been used at different times...
