CHEVROLET has started to wind down the promotion of the Holden Commodore-based SS sports sedan; this week it has pulled the car off its media website.

The website, formerly dedicated to promotional material relating to the Chevrolet SS, now simply reads: “Please add a Redirect Path in the Page Properties, advanced Tab.”

The model is still a strong niche seller in the US: sales in August alone totalled 227 units compared to the same month in 2016 when only 14 examples of the US-only SS were sold. So far this year, Chevrolet has sold 2810 SS-badged, LS3-equipped Commodores, compared with just 2148 for the same eight-month period last year. It is not known how many of the $US46,625 ($A58,000) sedans are still held by US Chevrolet dealers.

The last car built, which has already been sold to a buyer who asked Holden’s Elizabeth production line workers to sign the chassis as they assembled it, was a Phantom Black SS fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox.

More than 7300 heavily modified Holden Caprice long-wheelbase sedans also made their way stateside with the SS, sold as the Chevrolet Police Pursuit Vehicle to various law-enforcement authorities throughout the US.

The last locally made Holden Commodore will come off the car maker’s production line on October 20.
