The following sequence of pictures are from an original owner '69 SS 396 Camaro built the 3rd week of April '69.

The YJ rim is dated March 22, 1969.

So now after 40+ years of Camaro collecting I have seen one Polyglas tire that apparently came on a 69 SS Camaro. Are there more ? I think they made about 34000 SS Camaro's, plus the Chevelles, Corvettes etc. Based on examples I would not recommend someone restoring a 69 Camaro SS use a Polyglas because I think the odds of it coming from the factory that way are very very very very slim.

Hate to admit this, but I tend to agree with Charley on this

Steve it's Gadsden AL. Not OH

Oops! This is the second instance that I'm aware of the Polyglas may have been used. Two data points is a start but certainly far from conclusive.

Turns out the second instance Steve referred to is the same one Rusty just gave Jerry credit for. So as of now we have maybe 1.

34,932 to be exact.
The same could be said about a 1970 L78 Camaro with a TH400.
