Chevelle and SS

The Chevrolet Chevelle was a mid-sized automobile from Chevrolet debuting for the 1964 model year. It was produced from 1963 through 1977, and was one of General Motors' successful nameplates.

Chevelle models included economical family-type sedans, station wagons, coupes, and convertibles, as well as several performance-oriented variants.

The Malibu, at first the top trim level in the Chevelle line, replaced the Chevelle name entirely after 1977. The Chevelle chassis (based on the reengineered GM A platform) provided the platform for the Chevrolet Monte Carlo in 1970.

A utility pickup, the El Camino, was part of the lineup and, depending on the year, was available in 300, 300 Deluxe, or Malibu trim levels, as well as a one-year only SS396 version. The El Camino, and its GMC counterpart, outlived the passenger car versions until their demise after the 1987 model year.
