Good question. My '66 has one of each. It's not
an SS.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] 2nd request,
Chevelle headlamp side molding
Group,
Any
insight on this topic that I have posted. Actually I am truly wanting
thought and feedback on this issue. I am going to keep my mouth shut and will
no longer air my thoughts and opinions on other topics outside of the Chevelle
stuff. Again, any thoughts regarding the post below would be greatly
appreciated.

I have a paint design question on the headlamp side
molding of a 66 SS Chevelle. The question is whether the head lamp side
molding is painted solid flat black or chrome ribbed with flat black painted
strips between those chrome ribs? I have seen several 66 SS cars with either
one or the other. I have also noticed all 66 Malibu's do not have that side
molding painted solid flat black but stripped. I also noticed the same
at the Chevelle Midwest Regional this year.
I have looked at the
following car magazines listed below which have 66 SS Chevelles donated by GM
for a variety of performance and handling test. All these GM factory direct
delivered Chevelles display the solid flat black head lamp side moldings.
After reading all the articles and viewing the black and white PICS I am
leaning or beginning to believe these molding are solid flat black to
compliment the painted flat black SS grill. What all do you folks
believe is correct on the 66 SS Chevelle? I think I will follow the
documented article magazine pictures I have seen to date.
