lowered for a muscular stance, this is an excellent entry into the

comfortable drive while the custom exhaust adds a wonderful
rumble.

About the Chevelle:
Part of the General Motors A-Body platform, the Chevelle was one of
Chevrolet's most successful nameplates. Body styles include coupes,
sedans, convertibles and station wagons. Super Sport versions were
produced through the 1973 model year.
Ford released the mid-sized Fairlane in 1963, to which Chevrolet
responded with the 1964 Chevelle based on a new A platform design.
Riding on a 115-inch wheelbase, the new Chevelle was similar in
size, simplicity, and concept to the standard-sized 1955-1957
Chevrolet models.
The Chevelle was the U.S. auto industry's only all-new car for 1964
and was positioned to fill the gap between the small Chevy II and
the full-sized Chevrolet models. Introduced in August 1963 by
"Bunkie" Knudsen, the Chevelle filled the gap for Chevrolet with
sales of 338,286 for the year.
Originally conceived as an upsizing of the Chevy II with a unibody
platform which originated with the XP-726 program, GM's "senior
compact" A-platform used a body-on-frame construction using a
suspension setup similar to its full sized automobiles with a 4
link rear suspension.
1966 saw a complete restyle of the Chevelle on the previous frame
that included smooth contours, a broad new grille and bumper
treatment, and curved side windows. Bulging rear fender lines and a
"flying buttress" roofline tunneled into the "C" pillar were
highlights of the '66 hardtops. The new body reflected the "Coke
bottle" body shape that became the fad for American cars in the
mid-1960s.
