THE CHEVROLET CHEVELLE, PRODUCED FROM 1964 THROUGH 1977 AS A MID-SIZED MODEL,
WAS ONE OF GENERAL MOTORS MOST SUCCESSFUL CARS. CHEVELLE MODELS RANGED
FROM ECONOMICAL FAMILY CARS TO POWERFUL COUPES & CONVERTIBLES. ORIGINALLY,
IT WAS INTENDED TO COMPETE WITH THE FORD FAIRLANE. EARLY DESIGN PHOTOS SHOW
WHAT WOULD EVENTUALLY BE THE CHEVELLE WEARING NOVA NAMEPLATES, THE NAME
THEN BEING USED FOR THE TOP TRIM LEVEL IN THE SMALLER CHEVY II SERIES.

THE CHEVELLE SS REPRESENTED CHEVROLET'S ENTRY INTO THE MUSCLE CAR BATTLE.
EARLY '64 AND '65 CHEVELLES HAD A MALIBU SS BADGE ON THE REAR QUARTER WHILE
THE SOUGHT-AFTER Z16 OPTION HAD IT'S EMBLEM ON THE FRONT FENDER (ONLY 201 PRODUCED).
IN 1966, THE CHEVELLE SS BECAME A REGULAR SERIES OF IT'S OWN. THE HIGH PERFORMANCE
VERSION, CALLED THE SS396, HAD IT'S OWN LINE OF ENGINES AND PERFORMANCE EQUIPMENT.

FOR 1967, THE 325 HP VERSION OF THE 396 V8 WAS AGAIN STANDARD BUT THE L34 UPGRADE
LOST 10 HP, TO 350 BECAUSE GM's NEW POLICY AGAINST ANY CAR BUT CORVETTE HAVING
MORE THAN 1 HP PER 10 POUNDS OF CURB WEIGHT. HOWEVER, IN A SECOND UNDER HOOD
REVERSAL THE 375 HP L78 WAS NO LONGER LISTED IN SALES BROCHURES BUT DID REMAIN
A $476.00 DEALER-INSTALLED CONVERSION FITTED INTO 612 CARS. (I'LL TAKE 10)!
