I have an original, unrestored 1967 L35 RS/SS with 19,450 miles on the clock. When dad purchased the car new, it was wearing SS wheel covers. When I began showing the car in the early 90's, I was told by several authoritative sources that the "68" wheel covers were not correct for the car. Fast forward to last week when I was flipping through my taped-up, dog-eared Assembly Instruction Manual and was surprised that for over two decades I had largely over looked page 11, Miscellaneous Shipping List. The second part listed on the page is RPO P01, COVER UNIT - WHL TRIM and the eleventh part listed is RPO P01, COVER UNIT - WHL TRIM. Part number 3893121 vs. part number 3871173. If you look at the DIVISION RECORD in the lower right corner of the page, 3871173 was added on 5-1-67, very late in the model year. ( My car is an 06C car) Looking back at the 11th item, the AIM states that 3871173 was specific to MODELS RPO L48, L34, L35 & L78. All are, of course, SS cars.
Further snooping by Kurt verified that P01BA was in fact introduced in April of 1967.
If anyone knows of any other late 67 SS cars wearing SS wheel covers or has circa 67 photographs of SS Camaros with these P01's, I would very much appreciate a response.
Thanks,
Brett
