Interesting that it is running 65-66 Impala SS hubcaps. I've always thought that these hubcaps looked pretty good on almost anything Chevy made in the 1960s, including Camaros.
I have an old picture of my Mom's '68 Camaro she bought new wearing these hubcaps (white, black nose stripe, black vinyl top, 250, PG car). Coming from a "car family", my grandfather (Mom's Dad) almost immediately added these SS caps to the Camaro. He scored from a friend who pulled them off an impala in favor of chrome reverse wheels. They made a huge difference in the appearance compared to stock '68 Camaro caps.

Too Kool! Check the reflection of the guy hanging out the window videoing the rear tires. That Vedeo Cam had to weight a ton <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Car was featured in NY based Street Power magazine around 1978 or so still looking the same as in the video. "Reb" Brown owned the car and he was from Connecticut

'63 Impala SS wheelcovers were also used on some '68 SS Camaros. Ten or so years ago there was a '67 SS 396 Camaro featured in Cars and Parts and it had these '65 style SS three-bar wheelcovers and its NOS redlines still on it.

I knew the '63 Impala style caps were used in '68. I didn't think they ever used the '65 Impals caps on a Camaro from the factory. I am probably wrong though.

That's basically true but the '63 Impala caps had silver paint on them while the Camaro caps had black paint. Exact same cap though under the paint.

Not to create waves but who confirmed this is a Motion car? I posted on Marty's Facebook page and he doesn't recognize the car?
