In 1972, I don't believe that any of the Caliber 12 Autavias had the "stripes" on the hour recorder, with one notable exception . . . the one we call the "Orange Boy".

I have a theory that the Orange Boy was actually produced before the time of the Viceroy promotion, so this photo may support that theory. Either this driver was wearing an "Orange Boy" or the art department that worked on the ad took some liberties (in the era before PhotoShop).
