1968 Steering Wheel Shrouds
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have several shrouds for the 1968 deluxe steering wheel. There are 3 different Super Sport emblems used on these shrouds. I'm trying to figure out what cars they were used on. They are SS396, SS and Super Sport. I'll try to add pictures ifI can figure it out. Any 68 experts here?
Thanks, James

Here is the Super Sport one. Picture is blurry but you can still tell what it is.

Super Sport one was for the Impala... The SS one was used on Camaro, usually small block, but I've seen SS396 cars with just the SS logo too... Chevelle used both versions as well... I think LVCamaro's 68 DH chevelle has an SS one, even though the car was originally an SS396. Probably a mid year change where they dropped the "396" part so one emblem could be used regardless of engine. I also have one that says SS427, from a 68 Impala SS427.

"SS" is Camaro, "SS396" is Chevelle, "Super Sport" I don't know

Camarojoe posted while I was still typing plus his info is certainly more complete

Camarojoe, you sure Camaros also used the "SS396"? I thought Camaros used only "SS" regardless of engine size. Thanks for the help. Bill D

No, I'm not positive on that one... I just know that the chevelle used both SS and SS396... Camaro MAY have only used SS now that you mention it.

Thanks for the responses. I have seen the SS427 ones too. They are pretty tough to find. Are any of the ones I have any harder to find that the others? I have 3 of the SS396 ones and 1 each of the other 2. I also have a generic one that was used on the non SS cars and another one that you may have never seen one of. It has the Canadian maple leaves and is on my Beaumont.

My 68 Camaro SS 396 Unrestored car only had SS on it. It was produced in early may 68.
