It's 1969 and your Camaro gets delivered...
 

...to the dealership. Your Camaro is delivered with dog dish hubcaps which are in the trunk according to the Misc. Shipping List in the AIM.

There are other 'loose' items shipped with the car but, with regard to the dog dish hubcaps, does anyone know for sure how they were packaged? Any pics of original packaging? Certainly, if you bought a set from the Chevy parts counter, they would arrive in a box. I have a set of those. What I would like to know is how did they arrive, in the trunk, from the factory?

Thnx for any insight
Mark

With a nova they were on the car. We picked up my new 1969 SS nova in April of 1969 and they were on the car. I took them off as soon as I got home.

Yes, they were on the car after dealer prep but, they were not on the car when it was delivered to the dealership.

Watch it, Rich:-))

Some were shipped installed. I have a great picture of a hauler full of Big Block rags on the way to the dealer.

Thanks for letting me know that. The assembly manual shows they were in the trunk for delivery. Learn something new everyday.

Still would be nice to see, for those that were not installed, how they were packaged.

They were in the trunk for delivery. Also Salesman would swap them,out of the trunk,for other deals they made up.

back then, at the parts counter, they where not always in boxes, they where in a waxy/heavy padded type paper that was wrapped around them individually..white on the outside and brown inside

ive had many sets and single nos dog dishes back 30 years ago and they where alway in wrapped paper with GM and a part number label...

gm reboxed stuff over the years..eventually they where in boxes..but ive seen many with just a label on them too

then there the dealer take offs that never made it on the car, or where pulled off when the car was sold with a wheel or wheel cover upgrade.. they where just loose and had a part number inside written with a pencil or china marker..mostly pencil

Items that were placed in the trunk were normally in a box. Same as today.

So, does anyone have a pic of the box that the dogdish hubcaps were delivered in, when new? My box is from a 'service' set of four (I'll take a pic of it and post it) but, I suspect the 'as delivered' box was different.

The AIM says the antenna mast was in the trunk. It would've been in a box, too?
