1964 Chevelle Review
Chevrolet created the Chevelle in 1964 as a mid-sized car to compete with the Ford Fairlane, and its Malibu Super Sport line hinted at what would put future Chevelle SS’s in the great American muscle car battles of the...
 
 
1965 Chevelle Review
Stylistically, little changed with the Chevelle between the 1964 and 1965 models. All models, including the wagons, grew a few inches in length (keeping the same 115-inch wheelbase) and added a few sleeker lines and additional trim options. The...
 
 
1966 Chevelle Review
Chevrolet responded once again to the ever-growing popularity of mid-sized cars with large engines by issuing the SS 396 exclusively with a large block V-8. While the rest of the Chevelle models retained the same standard engine (194 cubic...

Not only did the 1970’s Chevelles usher in a new decade, they also saw the peak of muscle car performance. Other than name changes and some slight body style tweaks, the big news of the year for the Chevelle...
 
 
1971 Chevelle Review
As the brochure quote above claimed, very little was changed about the Chevelle in 1971, though a front view of the car wouldn’t necessarily convey that sentiment. Gone are the sets of double headlights in favor of Power-Beam single-unit...
 
 
1972 Chevelle Review
Even as the Chevelle as a muscle car began its decline in 1971 and continued not only through 1972 but for the rest of the time it existed, the Chevelle was still rated the second most popular car in...
 
 
1973 Chevelle Review
1973 marked the introduction of the third generation Chevelle, and after three years with little change to any model, the entire line underwent a thorough makeover. The year also marked the last year of the fabled SS line, as...
