Default Re: Flat Black SS396 Rear Panel?

Look closely at that rear panel. No shine. Looks flat black to me. </div></div>

I wouldn't draw any impressions from what was done to a show car hand-finished by the Styling department.

Chevrolet built about 36,000 67-69 396 Camaros. Maybe each of us has personally seen 100 of them. There are several excellent original paint examples still around with very glossy rear body panels. Also, some with satin rear body panels. Appears either was acceptable. </div></div>


Bill,

This topic was discussed in depth here on the board in a previous thread. A very plausible explanation was provided on page 4 at post #639458.
