Chevrolet Chevelle

The Chevrolet Chevelle is a mid sized automobile produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors in three generations for the 1964 through 1977 model years. Part of the GM 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, and Lagunas from 1973 through 1976.

After a three year absence, the El Camino was reintroduced as part of the new Chevelle lineup. The Chevelle also provided the platform for the Monte Carlo introduced in 1970. The Malibu, the top of the line model through 1972, replaced the Chevelle nameplate for the redesigned, downsized 1978 models.

The Chevelle was intended to compete with the Ford Fairlane, and to return to the Chevrolet lineup a model similar in size and concept to the popular 1955-57 models. Enthusiasts were quick to notice that the Chevelle's 115 inch (2,900 mm) wheelbase was the same as that of the 1955-57 Chevy. Two door hardtop coupes, and convertibles, four door sedans, and four door station wagons were offered throughout the entire run.

In line with other Chevrolet series, the two door hardtops were called Sport coupes. Four door hardtops, dubbed Sport Sedans, were available. A two door station wagon was available in 1964 and 1965 in the base 300 series. Various wagons were sold with exclusive nameplates, Greenbrier, Concours, and Concours Estate. Six cylinder and V8 power was offered across the board. The Chevelle was the basis for the Beaumont, a retrimmed model sold only in Canada by Pontiac dealers.
