1967 trim tag option

ascamaro · Jan 1, 2007

just wondering what trim tag group this option would be listed under, if any??

i was looking at the cover of "The Illustrated Camaro Recognition Guide" Volume 1: 1967-1969 by John Hooper and D.M. Crispino. And i noticed something on the cover.

on the Red 1967 Camaro Conv. i was looking at the rocker moldings, and noticed. it has Firebird rocker moldings below the RS lower fender door and quarter moldings.

My question, IS THIS FACTORY?????

I don't know BIRD molding well enough to take a guess. Can you post a picture?
I think the Firebirds had the same Rocker Spears as the Camaro..but I don't really know.

i tried scanning and taking a digital picture of the cover but its not clear enough to see. can anyone else help with this?

Thanks ascamaro

all 67 rs camaros got the six peice rs chrome and the spears ,

the picture on the cover looks to be original. but in the picture these are not spears, they are firebird moldings 3 inchs wide and the full length of the rocker and fender.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I know what you are talking about. It is almost like a rocker rock guard under the spear. It came with a package in the Firebird line. My 69 Z11 had a set on it when I got it but it also had the 70's torpedo mirrors and pshycodelic butterflies painted on the quarter panels

Might have been a dealer add on at most.

I thought this piece of trim was off 1968 Bird not a 7 :clonk: !

yeah me too, but the pic looks original

Here is the pic, it looks like an original GM photo which have been known to have errors in them.

That almost looks like it may have come from the GM photo archives. The model you see depicted may not really be the model but a ad agency doctored car, the apply only enough to fool the camera. They were done way ahead of actual production.

I have seen one image of a 1970 Chevelle SS that is realy a doctored Malibu. Hood open and you can just make out a 6 cyl engine as well as other non-SS items.

So don't put any trust in old photo's like these. That might just be a Firebird decked out to look like a Camaro!

does look like a early GM promo photo.
Some of those had air brush work done as the long lead times of the day required some guess work on the final product
