Re: Early GT500 Cover Photo: NO MYSTERY-- CENTER CAP REFLECTION

All,

The mysterious "emblem" (closer to the front) appears
simply to me to be a reflection from the center cap.
Remember that airbrushing techniques were pretty
primitive, and the photo could have easily been
slightly enhanced prior to publication. That would
easily explain the added emphasis (or shine, if you
will) where there was little originally.

Just my two cents...
