The 300 series cars got the narrow bezel. The Malibu and SS cars got the wider one with the black paint insert.

Thanks keith, never knew that. I need new ones for mine and i think i like the 300s better. Are they hard to find?

I see them on Ebay every once in a while. They are somewhat rare.

Several years ago I almost bought a pair of NOS 300 bezels for my 69 until the guy said "you do know theses are different than the SS bezels don't you?"

I just learned something today that I never noticed before, the 300 bezels fit inside the hole in the quarter rather than set on top of the metal like the Malibu/SS cars do.

I guess I just never paid any attention before.
