C2 Rear Valance Panels

Re: C2 Rear Valance Panels

I will agree with you Jim, because my 1966 coupe is a St. Louis car and it has two holes per side.

Alan, on my Dec 63 1964 Coupe I had 'bare spots' under the rear valance upper tabs indicating the valance was painted hanging on the car, I believe it was held by only 2 bolts since the other bolt locations on the valance had body color on them. The body only had one hole in it for the end bolts.

That's correct, for St Louis built bodies.

The panel was hung with a few bolts as the body went through all of the paint operations. Then the panel was removed while the body was trimmed. After the body was set on the chassis, the panel was reinstalled. (not necessarily the same panel)

A O Smith bodies were painted without the panel in place.

My 66 has only one hole per side. (St Louis) I've seen a lot of cars that have two holes per side.

Re: C2 Rear Valance Panels

Thanks to everyone for their input. I've been tracking the years v hole and just nothing lines up! So at this point I think its safe to say we do not know!
