Anyone know what the Decor Group included? I searched previous posts and the wheel moldings are mentioned. Anything else included? Car I'm looking at is a '70 GTO convertible. Thanks.

The 1970 Y86 Decor Group included P01 Deluxe Wheel Discs and B96 Wheel Opening Moldings.

Thanks again, Is a "wheel disc" a trim ring?

Wheel discs are wheel covers AKA "hubcaps".

There is a difference between a wheel disc, or wheel cover, and a hub cap. The wheel disc/cover covers the entire wheel. The hub cap only covers the hub/lug nut part of the wheel.
Anyone know what Pontiac actually called the standard hub cap? Anyone ever see a car originally optioned with hub caps and trim rings? (I apologize for the highjack SlowGTO)

gtoric, I believe I've seen them on a '72 Ventura and know they were available for the '73 LeMans/GTO. I thought they called them Moon Hubcaps w/wheel trim rings.

Notice that the Decor Group features different levels of content depending on the model and body style of the car. Since the GTO was the top-of-the -line (and had more items offered as standard equipment), and was only available as a hardtop coupe or convertible, it only received wheel discs and wheel opening moldings. Consequently, this option cost only $36.86 on the GTO, and cost the most, at $124.28, to add to the basic Tempest coupe.

Thanks for the good info guys. This car has the rally wheel option too, so the only things it got out of the decor group were the wheel moldings and the maybe the pedal trim.
