The Chevrolet Picture Thread

[D-Dey]

As I promised, I'm starting picture threads for all divisions of General Motors, so here's one for Chevrolet -- the 1965 Chevy Impala SS Convertible.

The no-nonsense Corsica sedan! :)

This is a nice 1992 model.

[dawsongirl]

lol...we drove Corsicas in driver's ed.

The Chevrolet Nova was the Apple Pie Division's "compact" model in the sixties and the seventies. This one is a 1972 SS model.

http://www.musclecarclub.com/musclecars/chevrolet-nova/images/chevrolet-nova-1972a.jpg

The name Nova was a triple entendre; NOVA was an acronym for the four cars that shared its platform (the Nova the Oldsmobile Omega, the Pontiac Ventura, and the Buick Apollo), a nova is a star that shines brightly for a brief time, and "nova" is Latin for "new."

The name couldn't be used in Latin American countries, because "Nova" has another meaning in Spanish - "doesn't go." :lol: :eek:

[Steve M.]

Chevrolet's most radical car in the sixties was the rear-engined Corvair. This is a 1967 model.

http://www.cars-on-line.com/10400/67corvair10473-A.jpg

Contrary to popular wisdom, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe At Any Speed did not kill the Corvair. The defects Nader publicized in his book were ironed out when Chevrolet came out with the second-gerneation model in 1965. GM pulled the plug on the 'Vair after the 1969 model year because Ford's Falcon was consistently beating it in sales.

A classic Chevy. . . the 1969 Camaro! :)

A very fast Chevelle!

All right! :happyface
That's my kind of car! A big V-8, 400+ horsepower and 12-second 1/4 miles!
That's a nice '68 Chevelle. I see some of those at the weekly car gathering. When the drivers stomp on the accelerator which they sometimes do when they leave, they have a hard time keeping the car in one lane (the tremendous torque makes the back of the car fishtail).

Yes! The Chevelle was awesome. Here's a 67 similar to what my uncle has!

Yes! The Chevelle was awesome. Here's a 67 similar to what my uncle has!

That one is nice, too. With the big 396/360 hp. engine, they could really move.
Even the 327s did okay.

[Steve M.]

Let's go back even further!

Heres a 1929 Chevrolet convertible, complete with a rumble seat! :cool:

[Steve M.]

The 1976 Chevrolet Chevette!

http://mclellansautomotive.com/photos/H2295.jpg

Promoted as "a new kind of American car," it was indeed the first American subcompact that didn't require you to sit lower than the driveshaft! :lol: Though made and sold in America, the Chevette was actually a relative of the German Opel Kadett. The Chevette was adapted quickly for the American market in the wake of the first gas crisis of the 1970's. It was crude and basic, but it does have its adherents.

[Steve M.]

Another pic of the '76 Chevette! ;)

The 1982 Chevrolet Cavalier!

http://www.raymaner.com/cars/chevrolet-cavalier-1982.jpg

Introduced in the spring of 1981, the '82 Cavalier was meant to compete with small cars from Toyota and Honda and retard and even reverse the Japanese share of the American market. But, with the Cavalier's higher price, anemic engine, and lousy fit and finish, it, er, didn't quite turn out like that! :eek:

[D-Dey]

Now, here's a forgotten Chevy. From the Hank's Truck Pics website, the Bison.

This would've been a great Corvair, if it had actually been built.

[Steve M.]

Here's the Chevrolet people love to hate!

http://mclellansautomotive.com/photos/B27623.jpg

Introduced in 1971, the Chevrolet Vega was the Apple Pie Division's first subcompact, nominally replacing the Corvair. Everything about it was wrong. First of all, it was built using a shortened chasis from a bigger car - hence the huge driveshaft in the interior and the low seating. Secondly, it had such poor corrosion resistance, it rotted in the showrooms, something even Fiats didn't do. Thirdly, its aluminum engine had the capacity to, uh, melt. :eek:

Chevrolet has gone on to make other abysmal cars - the Monza, the Citation, the Cavalier with the 1.8-liter engine (which was avialable only in the Cavalier's first year of production because it was too anemc) - but they never again made a car as bad as the Vega. the couldn't even if they wanted to. The government wouldn't allow it! :lol:

The 2004 Chevrolet Optra!

http://www.canadiandriver.com/testdrives/images/04optra_3.jpg

Never heard of it? That's because it's actually a Suzuki Forenza, built by Daewoo in Korea and sold as a Chevy up in Canada. Ain't globaliztion wonderful? :rotflmao:

[D-Dey]

Check our this Impala SS. It's my icon for Spring 2006. I always thought they'd look cooler in black with red stripes, but I was thinking they'd be better off on the sides... until now.

[Steve M.]

A 1990 Beretta GTZ coupe! :)

1949 Styleline Deluxe
Speaking of Stylelines, this is a 1993-1996 Chevrolet Caprice Styleline.

[D-Dey]

This is a 1964 Chevrolet G-Series Mini-Motorhome.

[D-Dey]

Yes, this is a Chevrolet. Originally a Chevy Van, but I call it a Custom Chevy Van-Camper-Pickup. What a far-fetched tow vehicle. I wonder if the 5th Wheel trailer this guy tows is any freakier.

[Penny Lane]

'57 Chevy:cool:

[D-Dey]

This one from the Tin Can Tourists Website is even better. It's a 1972 Chevrolet C-30 Cab & Chassis motor home.

[D-Dey]

My previous post was #1508. So I've decided that I'm going to post an old Chevrolet Sedan Delivery, and I found one from 1951. The Sedan Deliveries happened to be model number 1508(until 1959 & 1960).

[Purffin]

I have a Chevy HHR similiar to this picture only mine is dark grey and dented. :rolleyes:

My picture wins! :D

[Fleet]

My picture wins! :D
I probably agree. :)

[MonarC]

Here is a picture of my husbands 1968 Chevy. When he first bought this truck it was up on blocks in someones front yard just rusting away. It took him a good 8 years to totally restore it inside and out. Then we decided to sell it when gas went up past $3.00 a gallon. He made quite a good profit off it too. As you can imagine. :D Sure do miss cruzin around in it though.

[D-Dey]

I know this is supposed to be a picture thread, but I just had to post this anyway. Maybe I should post it on the Pontiac picture thread too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2yfckjyj98

Whoops! I found out I can't post it on the Pontiac Picture Thread, because it was archived.

Awesome thread!! My mom worked at a GM/Chrysler dealership for 15 years so I grew up around chevy's, and they've always been my favorite (specifically classic chevrolets).

The 1967's are nice, but I still like the 1965's better.

Okay, here's another '67 Impala that's a little more famous:

We had an '84 Cavalier wagon. And also had a 91 Cavalier wagon. We drove the wheels off that one! It was a nice little car!:)

And one you can proudly display at a car show, with its classic 1960s styling. No jelly-bean or egg-shaped look here!

We have seen this car at various car shows. And for years after we sold it we would see our car on the roads around here.

[D-Dey]

1977 Impala coupe. Note the three-dimensional rear window.
I had a 1985 Chevrolet Caprice a decade ago, which is around the same size as the '77 Impala/Caprice. Not as nice as this one, but still nice. Hard to believe these were once considered a downgrade from the Chevy's of the 1950's and 1960's, because of the downsizing.

[Penny Lane]

The '91 Chevy Caprice. The ugliest car that Chevrolet ever manufactured! I remember the first one I ever saw. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes: It ended up being
a big seller though. It was widely used as Police cars.

[Penny Lane]

We had this 1978 Corvette. It was cool but I was always uncomfortable driving it. It sat very low to the ground and it felt like I was in a space capsule. It was not a very family friendly car. We bought it new for $8000.00! I was very upset with my hubby for spending so much on a car!:lol: We kept it for a year then traded it in for our first Chevette(we had 2). My hubby worked at GM and he was always trading cars.

A topless Celebrity! :D :lol: :rotflmao:

Nah, the 2002-2005 Hyundai Sonata beats that in the ugly contest hands down. It also beats the 1996-1999 Ford Taurus. Not that I didn't think it was ugly myself when it first came out, but it's still better looking that the two other cars I mentioned.

When that '91 Caprice came out I think that was the beginning of the "rounded" body styles. It looked like a boat!(or Noah's ark!):lol:

[Steve M.]

I always thought the Celebrity was ugly because of its abruptly cut-off tail.

[Penny Lane]

We had this '76 red Monte Carlo. A nice car!:)

[Penny Lane]

We had this '75 Chevy van only ours was a different color.My husband built a bed in the back and carpeted the entire interior with shag carpeting. Groovy!:lol:

Another '76 Monte Carlo, in yellow. I photographed this myself! :)

[Fleet]

Those Monte Carlos were sure popular back then. I remember seeing them all over the place.

If I was shopping for one, I would look for a '70 with the optional 454-4 bbl engine. (It would not be a daily driver!)

Car Life magazine tested one of those with a 2.73:1 axle ratio and three-speed automatic transmission and took it up to 105 mph in 2nd gear! Observed top speed was 132 mph. The later Monte Carlos (up to the mid-'70s) had nice interiors and styling but a big drop in power and I prefer lots of power! (The '70 454 engine was rated at 360 hp and 500 lbs-ft torque.)

[Steve M.]

The baby Chevy - the Chevette!

The baby Chevy - the Chevette!
One of my friends rented a Chevette. He asked me to park it at my house overnight. I think my bicycle had more power than that car!

If I were to buy a baby Chevy, it would be a '66 Nova, with a 327 V-8. That's a real baby Chevy.

What they should've done with the Caprice was made it more like the 1988 Chevy Venture concept car:
