A
noticable change in the sheetmetal took place in 1969 to give
the Camaro a wider look. The grille was recessed further into
the car to give it a meaner look. Contoured flares that started
at the wheel openings and streaked back towards the door in
the front and towards the rear fender in the back were added
to the sheetmetal.
The
SS package now included a slightly different hood style with
two chromed hood ornaments that now had simulated carburator
stacks. Also new for 69 on the SS and Z-28 was a cowl induction
hood originally designed for the Trans Am series races. When
the car was floored a solenoid was triggered to open a door
which let cool air from the base of the windshield into the
carburator. This hood visually and audibly (The Rrrrrrrrrr of
the 4 barrel carb) gave the Super Sport a presence that is unforgettable.
