Hello, new to the forum here. I’ve been working on my 1973 for a while now and noticed that the center caps for the wheels say limited edition. I was wondering if there was a reason for this? I have the build sheet but I cant find anything.

Monte Carlo center caps?

I see nothing on the internet like that, looks like it was added.

More likely Pep Boys, Advance, or JC Whitney. Probably applied with adhesive. Just peel them off, clean up the glue, and move on.
