I was walking around the Lower Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco and spotted this gem Almost enough to send me back to the 60’s and the Jefferson Airplane and Big Brother and the Holding Company which were popular right around the time this car was released. That’s about thirty years ago. This neighborhood has not changed much since then.
Wickipedia had these comments about the car.
The Ford Comeback
The Chevelle was intended to compete with the similarly sized Ford Fairlane, and to return to the Chevrolet lineup a model similar in size and concept to the popular 1955-57 models. Early design photos show what would eventually be the Chevelle wearing Nova nameplates; the name then being used for the top trim level in the smaller Chevy II series. The Chevelle was the basis for the Beaumont, a re-trimmed model sold only in Canada by Pontiac dealers.
