More than a set of wheels.
The first Brazilian Opala SS belonged to the 1971 line even though one chronology dates its introduction to June 1970. It was a four-door sedan. The pillarless coupe arrived in September 1971 for the 1972 line, so later coupe photographs cannot stand in for this launch identity.
Look a little closer.
The first Opala SS was a four-door saloon; the much better-known pillarless coupe followed for the 1972 line.
Photos show an example of the model or generation. The pictured vehicle’s year, equipment, or modifications can differ from the specification described here.
Why 1971 and introduced in 1970 can both be true
Brazilian sources mix calendar introduction and model-line year. The honest label is '1971-line Opala SS, introduced during 1970,' preserving both source phrasings instead of pretending they conflict.

The launch SS was a four-door sedan. The better-known pillarless coupe arrived for the 1972 line, and stripes can be added during restoration. A true cover must prove both the early four-door body and SS identity.
