JOHN ... Thank you for providing xclnt information ....

I didn't know all the tidy tidbits of information that you presented

But this I do know this ...

YES ... The Turbine/Spinner Knock offs were an option

And ... to me ... they look a hell of a lot better

So ...

I've purchased a few "DONOR " cars for a few of my projects to my liking

Many thanks four your input ... good stuff

John, great info!

The Corvette Black Book shows that option for 1963 but none delivered as you said. Of course, like a lot of rare items, many of the restored 1963 Corvettes have the alloy wheels. Like the big joke about the 1965 last mid-year fuelie cars, "Of the 771 built, there are only about 1000 left"! LOL!!

The first picture features the factory stock wheel cover while the second depicts the factory optional knock off wheel. Both would be correct for a 63 Vette. Good job Dennis.
