History of the 1966 Chevelle

The Chevrolet Chevelle was a mid-sized automobile produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors in three generations for the 1964 through 1977 model years. Part of the GM A-Body platform, he Chevelle was one of Chevrolet's most successful nameplates. Body styles include coupes, edans, onvertibles and station wagons.

The Chevelle SS396 became a series of its own in 1966 with series/style numbers 13817 and 13867. SS396 sport coupes and convertibles used the same Malibu sport coupe and convertible bodies with reinforced frames and revised front suspension: higher-rate springs, ecalibrated shocks, nd thicker front stabilizer bar, ut with different exterior trim. They also had simulated hood scoops, ed-stripe tires, nd bright trim moldings. The SS396 series lasted from 1966 through 1968 before being relegated to an option package in 1969.
