Thanks for the clarification Joe. I wouldn't have known that. I wonder why an SS full wheel cover wasn't part of the package?

Yep, that's true for Impalas. In fact, there wasn't even a delete option if you didn't want the SS caps. The only way to get an Impala SS with dog dishes was to order the chrome wheel option ('63&'64) or the 15" wheel option.

Swezey's Dana car looks plain deadly w/ the steelies in black and matching black hat...and w/ the stinger & black stripe, even more sinister!.

Just to add some more info to this thread: I used to own an all original 1967 Camaro RS I bought from the original owner. It had body color painted wheels and full wheel covers. I think they were referred to as the "tulip" style.

I'm a doubter on the factory screwup / supply theory. The broadcast sheets called out what color the wheels were going to be.
I've seen several of these wrong wheel colors and every time, when they were chased back to original docs, they came as ordered and they were changed at the dealer.
