But the graphic sure looks original in that pic. Wonder if it started as a dealer thing that grew into an RPO in the square era..
I dug briefly and unsuccessfully for any GM information re this package for the 72 model year. It seems that by 73 there was an organized Trailering Special package that could be had with emblems to boot. The decal here looked applied to original paint and use of the bowtie implies a GM sanctioned product I’d think. I’ll keep my ear to the ground for any related info.
