Somebody in the design studio thought it looked &quot;fabulous&quot;.

WoW, nice!!!
I love N96 mag covers on anything...if that was even an RPO for '65?

Enough whining about the SS emblems as we got stuck w/ them on Canadian built 66/67 cars too.
They were used on our SB Malibu SS cars but looked somewhat better on the rear flanks, sad but true as an SS A-body didn't always equal MK1V's up here.
To clarify, Beaumonts are a whole different story!

I don't mind the Malibu SS emblems on my 65 at all. I agree with Pete that they seem to fit the rear quarters much better. Up on the fender they seem unbalanced which is only aggrevated by the Z-16 rear tail panel trim which seems incomplete. I think I could live with it if I were to ever own one.

Is it just an illusion, or is the emblem installed at an angle?

Looks like it's slanted to me as well. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif[/img]

Are those heat deflectors on the spark plugs ? Was that only installed on Z16s?

I remember Chris Daniels selling one of his to someone in Cape Cod that he said. &quot;Needed it more than he did&quot;. Maybe that was Wayne ? The owner of the one at SEMA was listed as Daniels also but not Chris.

Wayne did indeed buy the triple black car from Chris Daniels.
