68 Chevelle/Nova Steering Wheel

[Supercar_Kid]

LV's Harrell Chevelle has the plain SS emblem and I think it's a safe bet to say it hasn't been touched, and the rust bucket '68 I posted pics of had the plain SS as well, and I can say for sure it's hasn't be touched. Both cars shared the rare UAW strike interior so I'd bet that the build dates of these two cars are within a week or two of one another. LV...what's the build date on your Chevelle? Let's look at known unrestored cars both before and after these dates, then maybe we'll come up with a time frame for the switch. I agree you'll probably find all later cars having SS only, as it makes more sense to switch to a generic "SS" for all Super Sport models than to have two separate parts for such a trivial application. Wonder if late production SS427 Impalas got the SS427 horn shroud emblem, or if that was done away with too and replaced with SS only?

Did they produce an "SS350" emblem for the 68 steering wheel? I have seen SS, SS396, and SS427, but can't recall for sure if I've ever seen SS350.

Kevin,
All original '68 SS427 Impalas that I have documented had the SS427 horn button unless they had the wood wheel. I have never seen an original Z24 car with the "SS" wheel. The only change I have seen has been with the side marker lights.

Could it have something to do with what interior package the car got? Maybe bench seat cars got the SS one and bucket seat cars got the SS396 one. The one on my car is not like any of the ones mentioned here. It has the Canadian maple leaves on it. Try finding another one of these!!!

[/ QUOTE ]mr70, I'm not sure what you mean by the above comment, but judging from my past experiences with you on this board, I took it as another personal bashing comment directed towards me. You don't know me well enough to make comments like this. Rick N made an honest mistake and you ran with it. Again mr70 you choose to put your foot in your mouth by adding comments that have nothing to do with the original poster's wanting a 68 SS steerig wheel. Rairly do I comment on anything unless I have something positive to add to the topic. You on the other hand, have too much to say quite too often. Please know that I have been around here a long time and read this forum daily even though I don't post every day. I suggest you keep your stupid comments to yourself in the future, as I had nothing to do with this thread till now!!!! I apoligize to Tom W and other members for taking this topic down the wrong path. MR70....I believe you owe someone an apology for your negative comments. musclecarkid out!!!!!!!!

Sorry Kevin/Eric, stupid mistake on my part. Certainly did not mean to start another bash session over a name thing............
