1975 Chevrolet/Cosworth Vega
Are you among the many automotive enthusiasts who think that performance in
the American automotive market was a dead horse by the mid-seventies? One look
at this 1975 Chevrolet/Cosworth Vega may very well change your perspective of

1957 Chevy Bel Air Nomad
Let's see now, you're looking for a stylish daily driver that will
have enough room for the four kids, Aunt Mabel, the family pet and
two week's worth of groceries. It needs to have good visibility, plenty
of power for passing and well, if it hits the budget a little harder
than a compact... Read More |

1950 Chevrolets
In 1950, Chevrolet Motor Division set out to put the icing on the
cake they had baked the year before. The 1949 product line had clothed
a standard post war chassis in its first new bodywork since the early

1966 Chevy Malibu Convertible
By 1966, the Chevelle line was proving to be one of Chevrolet's most
popular. The Corvair, Chevy's first compact, was drowning in a sea
of Ralph Nader driven bad publicity and a worse case of dealer indifference,
even though it had been deftly restyled and mechanically... Read

2000 Chevrolet Corvette
What else can you say about the Chevrolet Corvette? Dollar for dollar,
it's probably the best sports car in the world. I mean, it's no Ferrari
550 Maranello, but it's only a second or so slower than this Italian
speed demon. The Corvette is no Acura NSX in the slalom... Read

1967 Sting Ray
First, it was a slow starter. Then, it became a dominating racer.

How Much Difference Does
the 'R' Make?
Corvette is returning to road racing with a factory team this year.

Some Like It Hot
What's your pleasure? The 1962 voluptuously curvaceous, born-and-raised-in-the-'50s
Vette? Or the don't-mess-with-me, missile like contours of the 1963
split-window coupe? They are so incredibly different, yet both so
right on the money. Either one has seductive powers... Read

Wished Fot It Then - Got It Now
Bob Shamp is a stalker. A vision of the car he lusted for as a youth
is the reason. Back in the '60s, he owned two '61 Chevys - one hardtop
and one sedan, both were four-doors. But it was a friend's red-on-red
'61 Impala Sport Coupe that really lit Shamp's fuse... Read

Z/28 Camaro vs. Boss 302 Mustang
From the designer's board, to the race track and to the streets, it
may have been the greatest head-to-head rivalry of the muscle car
era. With each playing off the other to add to the mystique, it's
doubtful that two cars have ever competed harder... Read

Chevy 409
Before the Camaro, the Chevelle or the Sting Ray, Chevrolet was well-planted
in the performance field with its big-block 409, a powerplant so notable
that the cars it went in became known less for their model names than
for the engine. So well-known was this motor, that The Beach Boys...
