Jeff Helms' input to the auction:

"The A3 6 stamped rallies are indeed “pre-DG” wheels, and are generally believed to be from the very first runs of 67 Chevelle disc brake wheels made by Kelsey Hayes before the beginning of the 67 model year.

This being a Framingham car would explain that. Framingham was primarily a BOP plant, and made very few Chevelles in 67 as compared to all the other plants. Note the body # on this car is only 831, meaning that by the second week of December (3.5 months into production) the Framingham plant had only built 831 SS coupes. And disc brakes were rare themselves in 67, so it is very easy to believe that Framingham would still have some rally wheels on hand at that point from the first batches shipped to them."

Always appreciate his knowledge and input.
