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
Thank you .. Glad you like it.. I thought it was a great improvment & wanted to share
Can you believe what I did to the F/M '63 Silver ... I used 3 small tiny scresdrivers
Fun, isn’t it?!
Like the mod much better
Yep Dennis's wheels!
Looks good with the change Dennis. I like it.

So Pete .. U want 2 spill the beans? .. LOL ....
And yes
It is fun
Great Therapy
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.
Thank you John .. I like your vast collection / pictures - Thank You
