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!

Great looking 66...Love the color and the wheel/tire combo! Add a couple of Dana frames...Sweet!

Yep. The '66 Chevelle was the first year to designate an "SS 396" as opposed to the "SS". (Yeah, I know.... Z-16s in '65) The grille and tail panel badges indicated that while the rear quarters only call out "Super Sport".

I believe '66 L78 Chevelles and '66 L72 big cars were excempt from haveing smog pumps in California.

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!.

I, too, have seen this car in person. I would be afraid to drive it on the street, it's that nice!! Well, all of Dave's cars are nice, so I'm not saying much. Thanks for bringing them out for all of us to enjoy Dave. Just for the record, he turned me down for a trade, my Nova for this Chevelle!!
