The 1960’s bred huge competition between the domestic Big Three automakers, and GM’s answer to keeping up with the Joneses (or more accurately, the Ford’s) was the stunning new A-Body platform and its first entry, the 1964 Chevelle. The Chevelle SS immediately enters the muscle car wars in ’64 and ’65, badged then as a Malibu SS, until the moniker was dropped for the ’66 Chevelle when the SS396 became a series of its own and the game completely changed. “Coke-bottle” styling, smooth contours, broad grilles, and a flying buttress roofline take over the look of the ‘mid-year’ models, culminating in the redesigned 1967 Chevelle: arguably the most popular Chevelle ever made.
