The Chevrolet Chevelle is a mid-sized muscle car produced by Chevrolet in three generations from 1964 to 1977. Body styles include coupes, sedans, convertibles and station wagons.
The Chevelle was intended to compete with the Ford Fairlane. 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 from 1966 to 1972. A two-door station wagon was available in 1964 and 1965. The Chevelle Super Sport, or SS represented Chevrolet's entry into the muscle car battle, early 1964 and 1965 Chevelles having a Malibu SS badge on the rear quarter panel.
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, shared with other GM "A" body models. A 4-door hardtop-styled Sport Sedan joined the Malibu series.
