|
1961 Chevrolet Corvair
Debuted in '60 the Corvair was radical

Chevy II out sold the Corvair

1962 Chevrolet Impala
Big Chevy's got a bigger look to them
with this facelift the Sport Coupe (shown)
got a new roof treatment, by making the rear window smaller
and the posts larger it looked like a soft top convertible
the big news of the year was the introduction of the Chevy II
Chevy's new compact was directed squarely at Ford's Falcon buyers
Cost: $2,860.00

1963 Chevrolet Corvette "Sting Ray"
Ground to top Corvette is reborn
if anyone ever set out to make a "classic" car they would make this
4 inches shorter, a little lighter, hidden head lights
all helped to make the new Vette stylish but that split rear window!
that was the coolest thing buyers had ever seen sales increased a whopping 50%
the rear window would only last one season but o'boy do collectors love that model
Cost: $4,035.00 (Convertible) ; $4,250.00 (Coupe - shown)

1964 Chevrolet Corvette
The only change this year was the
loss of the split rear window, claiming a visibility restriction
the Sting Ray now had a solid glass rear
Corvette was the only car whose convertible outsold the coupe
possibly because of the popular tv show Route 66 which featured the convertible
Cost: $4,105.00
|
1964 Chevrolet Chevelle
To meet Ford's competition from their Fairlane
Chevy introduced the midsized Chevelle
available in regular or SS Sport trim (shown) it was an instant hit
it seemed that Chevy could do no wrong, they had the buying public's
confidence and model after model were successful
Cost: $2,495.00
