Top one: pre-1970 issues of the AMT '65 Bonneville.  Later ones have eight-lug wheels and not the wheel covers

Middle one: AMT '64 Bonneville

I will have to check and see about the 65 bonneville,  my friend might have one

The 64 bonneville is different than the middle picture,  its from a 63.   Here is what the 64 looks like, it has 3 thicker bars

The monogram 64 gto has a set such as these, with separate spinners. The kit is 1/24 scale.

The '64 covers are as close as you're going to get to '63.  '63 kits have eight-lug wheels.

Well, these are what are respectively in original 63 Bonneville Convertible, 64 Tempest Convertible, and 65 GTO.  My 64 Grand Prix kit does not ave anything like that and my 65 Bonneville and Grand Prix Prestige kits do not as well

Back in the 2000's I daily drove a very rusty 65 Star Cheif with a set of the Pontiac Deluxe A-body wheel covers. They had really good spring retainers and over 20,000+ miles I never lost one.

The car is gone (parted to save a 65 GP) but I still have those wheel covers.

I have a fuzzy memory that I saw a set of these wheel covers on a vintage car toy of Asian origin years ago at an antique shop. The toy was a "thingy" style race car and it was about 1/25 scale.
