Re: 68 SS/396 emblems
I have a 396 floil bezel with just 396 and black background removed from a 68 Chevelle SS, and I want to say it was an early car, but I cant remember.. Also interesting, our 3D (of 1968) 68 SS427 conv. from Tarrytown has red background 427 bezels, and the Tarrytown 11C-D (of 1967) 68 Motion "street racers special" Biscayne has red background 427 bezels. So I think the red ones were being used for all non SS427 427 powered cars all throughout the model year, and they must have run out?? by March of the "SS427" foil ones, so our convertible got red background ones. It was probably a similar situation with the 396 ones, that it just depended on supply, and supply varied from factory to factory depending on how many cars were ordered with what.
