In a TSD rally with a multitude of checkpoints, over 4000 miles as this one was run, a winning time within a minute was possible/expected! And that took very accurate distance-speed calculations to accomplish.
Correct but half points since you did not include the name of the likely TSD device mounted in the Camaro. Probably a Halda Speedpilot augmented with Curta Calculator.

Since WWII, how many times (if any) has Chevrolet offered TWO different-looking Pickup Trucks in the SAME Model Year?

1954 had a first series & second series pick ups, and then the '55-58 Cameos vs standard pick ups.

Different, like a '73 looks "different" than a '72...Body Style Change, not Model differentiation...

FULL-sized, only...
