Does anyone know if there were many of the 70 Eliminators with the Rallye Wheel Covers?
I have never seen one, but maybe most people replaced them with other wheels over the years?
Dave would have the numbers on the rallye wheel covers, but yeah rare on a Cougar. They’re not that common on a Mustang. I had a perfect set back in the 80’s that were on a car hauling trailer. Didn’t think they were anything special back then, just hub caps. Yep, left them on the trailer when it was sold
Strange they are not called out on the Marti or Invoice at $15.60 retail/ $12.30 dealer cost.
The build sheet for my dog dish car also has the “R” in “E-10”
They were on my Pastel Blue one which is the earlier picture that some people think was white. I’m not sure if wheel covers would be on a build sheet as they were not installed on the assembly line.
They would be shipped loose in the vehicle, so would be one of the last things put in the vehicle.
Interesting!
I thought that maybe just the Marti info. was missing the details.
e.g( I have a report without the dealer info.) , but the Eminger Report doesn’t show it listed either.
Looking through the '70 build sheets in my files, like Dave said, it looks like all of the “hub cap” cars got the same codes on the build sheet whether they were to receive poverty caps or Rallye wheel covers. I imagine the wire wheel covers were the same.
So it looks like the build sheets only showed two codes:
Styled Steel Wheels = 60LSAS
Base Wheels / Hub Caps = 60_RS_
Here is a sample build sheet and invoice for 0F91G510220, which is a Rallye Wheel Cover car;
Wheel Covers have their own slot on the build sheet: line D #9 “WHEEL COVERS”
Looks like…
Styled Steel Wheels = blank
Base “Dog Dish” Hubcaps = T
Rallye Wheel Covers = R
Wire Wheel Covers = (no sample to confirm, but guessing it would be “W”)
