I realize people will tell you otherwise on the 'net..Take that for what it's worth.
According to Ray Miller's book, Camaro ! Chevy's Classy Chassis "Special big engine hood,used in 1968 only with the 396 cu.in. engine option. Dual stack type hood escutcheons are visible evidence of 396 engine. Other engines were provided with "louvered" hood".
In other words 1967 BB SS would have had louvered/finned hood,but 1968 BB SS cars could only have the chunky grate style.
