Notes:
1. Fremont, CA. included the paint color for the wheels at least through
the end of May, 1965 (5D) then stopped adding the code as of the first
week of June (6A).
2. Additional colors were offered on Canadian
Chevrolet models that were not offered on their U.S. built counterparts.
Whether all of these additional colors were available on Chevelles is
not known but many were.

T ~ Capri Gold Metallic
Z ~ Satin Silver Metallic
3. RPO Z16 optioned Chevelles is reported to be 201 cars, and were available only in Tuxedo Black, Regal Red and Crocus Yellow. An unknown number had black vinyl tops.

Another convertible is purported to have been built for Semon 'Bunkie' Knudsen for his use, although to date this Z16 convertible has NOT turned up.
