The following sequence of pictures are from an original owner '69 SS 396 Camaro built the 3rd week of April '69.

The YJ rim is dated March 22, 1969.

Tire manufactured April of 69 at the Gadsten, OH plant

So now after 40+ years of Camaro collecting I have seen one Polyglas tire that apparently came on a 69 SS Camaro. Are there more ? I think they made about 34000 SS Camaro's, plus the Chevelles, Corvettes etc. Based on examples I would not recommend someone restoring a 69 Camaro SS use a Polyglas because I think the odds of it coming from the factory that way are very very very very slim.

Hate to admit this, but I tend to agree with Charley on this
Steve it's Gadsden AL. Not OH

Oops! This is the second instance that I'm aware of the Polyglas may have been used. Two data points is a start but certainly far from conclusive.

34,932 to be exact.
The same could be said about a 1970 L78 Camaro with a TH400.

The Corvettes never wore Polyglas .. the wore Speedway Wide Tread F70-15’s from ‘68-‘72.

I am not saying this is the only one.... you just asked for proof, which I gave you documentation from GM that they were available starting 2Q of ‘69. I also gave you pictures... These came from a respected member of the Camaro community... contact me with further questions.
