1966 Chevelle

Emblems, Trim, and Super Sport Nameplate Locations

Of the five engine sizes offered, three were noted by size designations above or included in the emblem on the front fender, the 230 cid L6 Turbo-Thrift, the 327 cid V8 Turbo-Fire, and the 396 cid V8 Turbo-Jet. Only the base 194 cid L6 Turbo-Thrift and base 283 V8 did not have an engine size designation.

The 283 cid V8 and the 327 cid V8 shared the same 'crossed flags' emblem but the 327 engine included the "327" numerals centered above the flags. All 396 cid V8 engines (325hp, 360hp, and 375hp) received the same front fender emblem.
