Steering Wheels
All of the steering wheels for 1969 were completely redesigned to a
wide, 2-bar unit. (The exception is the RPO N34 sport wheel shown
below.) The horn was now activated by one of two large rectangular buttons
at the end of the horizontal bar. The 300 Deluxe wheel was color coordinated
to the interior and featured a "bowtie" emblem in the center
and included no bright trim.
The Malibu steering wheel was also color coordinated with the interior
and differed from the 300 Deluxe steering wheel with the addition
of bright highlighting and a MALIBU emblem in place of the bowtie found
on the 300 Deluxe steering wheel.
When any of the Concours options were ordered, the steering wheel received
a wood-grain insert along with the bowtie emblem and bright highlights.
When the SS option was ordered, the MALIBU emblem was replaced with
an SS emblem and were black regardless of interior color.
The simulated wood steering wheel looked the same as the simulated wood
steering wheel from 1967 and 1968 but was now dubbed a "Rosewood"
plastic and had a different dish to it. This was available on
any 1969 Chevelle as option RPO N34.
Door Panels
The 300 Deluxe door panel was very basic but did show some design and
a little bright work along with a CHEVELLE emblem.
The Malibu door panel featured a bit more styling, some bright trim
and a MALIBU emblem.
The Concours optioned Malibu sport sedan featured a rich waffle design
along with matching carpeting along the lower section.
Not to be confused with the Concours optioned Malibu sport sedan above,
this is from a Concours station wagon. The same basic design as the
Malibu but with a Concours script emblem.
The SS-optioned Malibu received the same door panel as the standard
Malibu but now sported an SS 396 door emblem in place of the MALIBU
emblem.
