This statement is incorrect:

In some years prior to 1969, the SS was considered its own car model, even though it was based on a car already in production. For example, the 1968 SS396 was considered its own model, not a Chevelle.

The article SS396 is recommended for deletion.

Grille

[edit]

The grille looks reminiscent of a 1970 Camaro. Would love to have this built as a new Chevelle.

True super sport or CLONES?

[edit]

i feel that many of the readers and owners of classic cars are not aware of the knock off, when they buy or own a super sport car... how can they tell , and know when they have a true Super Sport, and when they get a clone.

what is there to look for in a true SS , and that Clones are just for looks.

Displacement of LSx motors

[edit]

Its calculated from rounded litre displacement numbers.

Example: LS3 is 376 cubes, 6.162 L. Yet is shown as 6.2 and 380. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.243.9.214 (talk) 19:19, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Holden's SS

[edit]

Holden's SS models stand for "Sports Sedan" not "Super Sports". The Chevrolet SS is possibly supposed to stand for "Sports Sedan" too as it is a rebadged Holden Commodore SS.

1963 and Corvair SS

[edit]

Just for info, an email a friend sent me had a 2-min 1963 Chevrolet commercial video attachment which says "four different kinds of Supe Sport garble(cars?)", followed by short promos for

  • "Corvair Monza Convertible with the extra cost Spyder option; just right for the sports car fan who is a family man, with a turbo-supercharged 150hp rear engine The Spyder is available on the Monza Convertible and Monza Club Coupe."
  • "Chevy II Nova Super Sport. ..."
  • "Jet smooth Chevrolet, with the extra-cost extra-glamor Super Sport option" (I presume in several models), ... Impala Super Sport with optional Turbo-Fire 409, with 340hp
  • Corvette StingRay, available for the first time in two models -- coupe and convertible (I see that the coupe is split-window)

The quotes above are rough -- maybe not exact. What caught my attention is that I see no mention of Corvairs in this article. The video does not specifically mention the year 1963, but that's how the email described it. I don't know its copyright status. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 08:36, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
