The first Corvettes were produced on June 30th and the magazine is July, this must be one of the earliest uses of the famous photo of the first three Corvettes.

Yes, I bet that is an early photo - as the front car in the photo appears to have the early Bel Air hubcaps - unfortunately I can't remember how many 1953's had the Bel Air hubcaps before they switched to the spinner hubcaps

I am pretty sure that when they got in the Corvette hubcaps they traded them out with the cars that had the Belair hubcaps.
