Mod Bod Highlander?

Did they ever make it originally? Looked back at lots of historical period pics never seen an example. Not sure what parts of 1972 GM offered the mod bod dealer installed graphics, but I think the Highlander was late in the year. Anyone have pics of an original with both or was that not possible?

Here’s a Highlander example but you gotta wonder about the paint which differs in color between the gb door, inside of the door, and the exterior: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...6&postcount=28

I believe anyone back then could get the decals through a dealer and have them added at will to their Highlander but the packages weren’t added at the factory.

Highlander was available all of 1972 or just in the end? Same question on the Mod Bod graphics what part of the year were they available?

The one referenced above, guess there's no way of knowing for sure what color it was with special paint, but the passenger door looks to be from a different vehicle that was copper. Best I can tell from the glovebox and what I can see of the rear inner quarters it was some kind of dark blue which is why they likely had to go the route of special paint. Don't believe dark blue with orange highlander interior was readily available or desirable for that matter.

I thought Highlanders were rolled out in the latter half of the model year but I can't point to any GM documentation. We could guestimate it by reviewing the sequence numbers on the plaid K5's thread. Certainly by February 1972 Highlanders were being assembled, at least at St. Louis.
