| from the looks of the SOR page, they were there since 68, but the '72 on ones are a bit different, though from a link on the iron pig preservation society page, it looks like later ones can be trimmed to fit.

| 55s are the most beautiful cars on the road, just look at the faces of people as one drives by...! (technicolor yawn is just a sign of endearment)
