Good info, thanks Mike. So, do we have any examples of a '66 with these
decals. Larry apparently had at least one. I can contact him to find out
who...

Kent, Mark, et al.,
I checked last night. My car does not have them, and I'm 95% sure it never
did. There's no residue, discolorations, etc. The top frame is the tan/off
white color, so I would think that any mark would show up pretty easily. The
car is from the 3rd week of September production at WRN.
Hope this helps - Mike
