How can anyone call that concept drawing a Chevelle? There's no resemblence to a Chevelle at all.

My g/f said it looks more like an SSR truck then a Chevelle.

Even though it doesn't look that nice anymore. It has been sitting my back yard for 15 years waiting for restoration. This is a picture of someone else's but mine is the exact same color and configuraton.

A car buddy has a '65 SS.

He sold an award winning '67 Nova he'd had for years to buy the '65 Chevelle. It's the exact car he had in high school.

Hey RJ,
I traded a '67 Camaro RS to get the SS. I just remember everyone making fun of the Camaro and calling it "Real Slow."

GPD,

I can recall people making fun of the 1st gen Camaros. Mainly cause of the mono leaf springs they came with.

A woman I worked with when I was19 owned a '68 her husband bought used for her. She let me drive it one day. Talk about lots of flapping noises coming from the rear?

I agree, I never liked the way the car felt. It was heavy and cumbersome. I know they bring in big bucks now, but my Chevelle SS was a lot lighter and a lot quicker.

God I hope that's not what it's going to look like. That is one ugly concept. Bringing back the Chevelle nameplate would be nice, but GM better come up with something better looking than that.

Guy I went to high school with owned a '69 Camaro. I think he wrenched on it more then he drove it?
