Yes, this is true and I think it will need some looking into. I've ofter wondered what color was used, but never had a real desire to figure it out until Jan and I started formulating body colors. We

Series III GT's had white wheels. NOT body color. I've seen this on car's I've owned, and in factory press photos owned by Scott Christie. I'm 100% sure on this. There is a B/W factory photo on the S
