Myself, I like 'em all, pretty much. Old Mopar, Ford and even GM
products. I draw the line at Chevelles, though. Fat-fendered, ugly,
and everybody and his brother who doesn't have a Mustang has, or lusts
after, a Chevelle. Yech.

Drool ;-)


I've never understood the fascination with '70s vintage Chevelles. To me,
they are not in any way a "classic", they handle terribly and they're a
dime
a dozen.

Isn't that the truth. 64-68 Chevelles have a nice look. 69 and up...
not for me. I think my favorite is a 66.


Wasn't the '68 the first year they started to raise and arch the rear
quarter panels, keeping that look into the 70's?


Yep, 68 was the first year of the new body style. But the sides of
the body are still smooth, without the fat-fenders. 70 is the year
they added the flares over the wheelwells and totally changed the
front end, IMO ruining the car's lines.

Different strokes.
