    The staggered attachment holes ended after 1959.

    For the Corvette script covers in aluminum, you can still buy the finned later model covers (1960-1965) from the Chev dealer....at least you could last year when I bought two sets.

    Last I knew, the over the counter GM ones have a big casting line that runs through the "o" in Corvette due to a crack in the original factory die.

    I always had fun with guys.....told them their covers were mine....and someone took them.they all had my last name cast in them.Lester I still have a set of the staggered and the other........but wont sell sinec one set is the 9 fin ones. Yere are all sorts of odd differences in parts.......just like on the Nomads.....some of the middle tailgate bars wer smooth under the handle and others were the "knuckle Buster" type......must have been who made them that made the difference.
