Why are they all labelled GT/CS when all of them are not GT's ? What wheel came standard on them ?

It was a appearance package only. It could have been a 200ci six car.

They came with standard steel wheel with hubcaps un less other options were added.

Thank You for the response and link. Another question, if the Marti Report doesn't list wheel covers at all and the car is not a GT, what wheel and cover would it have had ? Body color wheels and dog dish caps ?

Though unusual to see (most new owners were looking for something other than the basic look) here is an example
