    Seems to be because they had the 72-only code 68 Midnight Bronze Metallic in its place, then.  It looks black unless you're in bright sunlight or right up next to it.

1972 seems to be the only year that black wasn't available on the Chevelle.  Why?  Dunno...  I have photos of other black 72 Chevelles (one with gold hood stripes) and even a wagon.  I do have photos of a 72 Malibu 400 (owned by Fred Greer) that's triple black but it's a Canadian-built car I believe.

I can't imagine Black not being a color option as I've seen original 69's,70's,71's and I owned a new triple Black 73 SS El Camino. Kinda seems strange that Black would be deleted for the 1972 year.

Not to change the subject too much, but what is the paint code for black in '72?  I don't black as being a color option  but I'm seeing more and more black 72 Chevelles and Elkys.  I'm wondering how this Elky can be a 'triple black option' (?)  Nice looking ride - a better picture might attract more attention.
