Re: David Lindsley's 1966 396/375 SS Chevelle
This is a newbie question, did these cars come with an SS396 emblem on the rear tailpanel like that? I've never noticed one there b4 - but never really looked very hard.
Nice paint and body on this car, that hood looks like a mirror!

Z-16s in '65) The grille and tail panel badges indicated that while the rear quarters only call out "Super Sport".

[/ QUOTE ] Also the '66 Malibu SS was still built in Canada w/ SB's and the 'SS' emblem on the 1/4's for us hosers...and shipped to other non US markets too!. Nothing to do w/ Beaumonts which are their own story in itself.. Dave's '66 is a sweet piece indeed...absolutely love the painted steelies/dog dish ribby redlines combo too!.  ~ Pete
