Um...so how did you get that picture?? Are you behind a police station scoping out the detective cars?

That's a Chevy SS, not a Caprice

You got the Commodore SS in sedan form as your Chevrolet SS.

We did? I must have missed that or don't remember; I only remember the Pontiac GTO (God rest Pontiac's soul).

That would explain my ignorance in the previous post.

No worries, Chevy did a horrible job marketing both the G.T.O. and Chevy SS. The G.T.O. could've just stayed the Monaro IMO, same with the Commadore...the SS You know what I came up for the name of the "Chevy SS"...The Chevy "option package" because SS is exactly that, an option package which debuted in 1961. The G.T.O. name I get but SS, just licked the stamp and mailed it in

When GM shut Pontiac down, Holden still had a bunch of the front facias sitting on the shelf, so they offered them up as a Special Edition on our SS models, sedan, wagon, and Ute. Here's one available at the moment.

Check out this 2010 Holden Commodore SS V Special Edition VE Manual MY10.

So they mailed in the "super sport" moniker to match the option package abbreviation? It seems to me later on the option packages were 3 digits, letters and numbers, like FE3, 9C1, WS6, etc.

I'm going to channel my inner Deyon and speak on the SS nameplate

Like I mentioned, it debuted in 1961 and was available on the full-sized Chevy (Impala) and even on a 4 door AND 6 cylinder, believe it or not.

There was never a Corvette SS because ZAD said "All Corvettes are SS's"️

In a few years, you could a Nova and Chevelle as an SS, a little later the Camaro, even an RS/SS option was available. A couple notable non-full size SS's were the 1965 Z-16 Chevelle, the 66-67 Chevy II (Nova) w/the Corvette 327/350 option and my favorite muscle car of all-time...1970 Chevelle SS454 LS-6...MONSTER️️

The SS "name" carried through the 70's but became more of a "tape and pinstripe" option rather thana true performance option. The SS name last appeared on the Nova for 1976🫣

The 80's saw the name plate re-appear for the Monte Carlo in 1983 but it really wasn't "all that" with a 305 4 barrel, 3 spd auto for 83-84 (4 speed auto from 1985-87(88)). The car easily could've had a 350 or even fuel injected TPI from the Corvette, why it didnt...God only knows.

The 90's and beyond had the awesome Impala SS (de-tuned LT-1 Corvette engine-they were learning) and a 303 hp 5.3L LS in the last generation Monte Carlo SS (FWD)

Those AND yours actually!

The 4th gen I really liked and I'm sure it's pretty rare would be that orange on the SS, white stripes, white interior w/houndstooth inserts and SLP optioned center exit exhaust
