The bench seat had even been recovered in what looked like school bus seat leather. It was built and used in St. Louis
Including the odd-sized 7.00 x17.5'' bias ply tires? [Rim was 5.25'' x 17.5'' -- 6 lug]. I've heard the unusual size was to discourage employee tire theft. Also the military had some 17.5'' tires.
516 Paint was available w/o special order. ''Omaha Orange'' had been the color name before '67.
Fremont build. Original dealer was Felix Chevy in Downtown LA.
