1963 Corvette assembly line

That foreground coupe was most likely fitted with hubcaps for the photo op and then removed for shipping. The body jig is so cool! Just did a 4 corner replacement on my '66 coupe and getting the lineup accurate with glue only, no fasteners, is a humungous challenge, but it's done. Coulda used that jig!!!!!

A couple of these indicate the convertible tops were installed earlier in the process.

This slide from John Z indicates hard tops were installed back on the trim line (before body drop).
