Have tried finding one of these shrouds for my "65, have only seen on a/c cars also, will follow to learn more. Believe these are re-poped in plastic.

My guess is 63-64 big car, but seems I remember that bottom bolt tab pointed outside the ring instead of inside like the one pictured.

I'll try to find the pic of the olds starfire shroud that I found online. So far that seems to be the closest resembling one.

I'll look at it closer today. I'll also search online for the shrouds that came on early GOATs hopefully I'll find something.

Thanks guys
