This car? One of the finest looking Novas I've ever seen. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif [/ QUOTE ] Yes that car, and yes, it's probably one of the most properly/accurately restored 69 Novas I can think of... when it's not sporting it's Day 2 look it wears black steelies and dog dishers on redlines, which is how it was delivered with when new... and looks just as bad-assed as it does with the Cragars IMO. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/attachments/353817-SCR8056.jpg |
Re: Rim color?
I wonder if the wheel color had any connection to the trim level of the Camaros? Maybe cars with a Black-out lower panel, etc? Just curious. School me.

Re: Rim color?
Thanks for the clarification Joe. I wouldn't have known that. I wonder why an SS full wheel cover wasn't part of the package? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif
Yep, that's true for Impalas. In fact, there wasn't even a delete option if you didn't want the SS caps. The only way to get an Impala SS with dog dishes was to order the chrome wheel option ('63&'64) or the 15" wheel option. Verne;) |
Re: Rim color?
The camaro is a non SS 327 3spd. No lower blk out. It had a white vinyl top. I bought it from the ex wife of the original owner. The dog dishes were on all fours when I drug it out of the shed. I thought they were bomb canned black until we poped the tires off, and there's no sign of green on any of them. There is a nbr 26 in wax pencil on one of them. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Rim color?
Swezey's Dana car looks plain deadly w/ the steelies in black and matching black hat...and w/ the stinger & black stripe, even more sinister!.

Re: Rim color?
Just to add some more info to this thread: I used to own an all original 1967 Camaro RS I bought from the original owner. It had body color painted wheels and full wheel covers. I think they were referred to as the "tulip" style.

Re: Rim color?
I'm a doubter on the factory screwup / supply theory. The broadcast sheets called out what color the wheels were going to be.
I've seen several of these wrong wheel colors and every time, when they were chased back to original docs, they came as ordered and they were changed at the dealer. |
