Did the 1972 Corvettes come with the stainless steel trim used on the clutch, brake and gas pedal?

My car is a July 72 build (last month of production) and doesn't have the SS trim on the pedals.A ccording to my NCRS technical information manual, 1970 and 1971 had the SS trim, 1972 did not.

My '72 did not have the trim on the pedals. I have the standard vinyl interior. I believe only the deluxe interior with leather and deluxe door panels had the trim on the pedals.

A little late to the thread, but here it is. All stock except for the color, which will be returned to Mille Miglia Red in the near future.

My 72 was originally a vinyl/loop carpet ... upgraded in 82 to leather seats / cut pile and deluxe door panels. It has stainless steel trim on the pedals and is a nice touch.
