1966 Chevy Chevelle SS

1966 Chevelle SS

In Canada, sporty Chevelles continued to wear - Malibu SS badges for the 1966 and
 early 1967 model years. These Chevelles were available with the same equipment
as non 'SS' Malibu models in the U.S., and did not get the domed hood or
the blackout front and rear treatment. Redline tires were not available on
Canadian Chevelles in 1966. The Canadian Malibu SS got its "SS" name from the
Sports Option package under RPO A51 and was primarily a trim option.
This A51 option came with bucket seats, a center console except when
the 3-speed manual transmission was ordered, standard full wheel covers
and the ribbed rocker panel moldings. The Malibu SS emblems were
carried over from the 1965 Malibu SS series.
The Canadian option could be ordered with any 6 cylinder or V-8 engine
available at the time. Starting in January 1967. The Chevelle SS 396
took over and became its own 138xx series, the same as in the U.S.
Produced at the Oshawa, Ontario production facility,
only 867 SS 396 models were produced during 1967.
