Modern Chevelle Concept

[simonov]

The drawings look like what the new Camaro should have looked like, instead of the cartoon we ended up with.

My idea of the Chevelle is the mid-sixties style which was characterized by horizontal lines. From every aspect, the theme of the Chevelle (and most GM A-bodies) was horizontal. Today everything is fat and tall like a jellybean with its ass in the air. No horizontal lines at all. As long as a phobia for the horizontal prevails in Detroit (and Tokyo and Stuttgart), we will never see designs approaching the grace and the beauty of the mid-sixties Chevelles.

Here is a quick sketch of an idea I had for the front end. It's just the basic idea, it needs refining.

My first thought was give it some lines, I really hate how every car is "rounded" in every possible place. So many of them look the same to me.

OK. From the side it remeinds me of a Dodge charger. Well at least the nose part of it. Then again in another pic. Looks like a Camero with a Chevelle grill. Also remeinds me a Challenger ! Not saying its ugly. But the top picture is better then the other one. Then wheres a picture of a rear shot. Get rid of the Camero head lights

Keep trying. Needs hood pins. head light change.

Hi Rick,where you been?

[dbradley]

There were some guys a while back who bought up some of the 'modern' GTOs and 'converted' them into a modern 70SS. They weren't TOOOOO bad just way too expensive. Oh, and they still aren't the REAL thing.

I thought someone posted. a Chevelle body from Dianacorn ( not sure of the spelling) But that did look bad at all to me. But your not going to make everyone happy! But I'd love to see something newer on a Chevelle. Pleas don't make it a 4 door family car!

The images were cool, you might be on to something there. The shopped picture almost made me cry. It hurt mt feelings bad.

I pretty much agree, that if the Chevelle lines and angles were followed more closely, maybe even accentuated, instead of rounded off and smoothed.

The front of that shop picture looks like the front of a venture minivan stuck on there.

This car needs to have a sharp hood, and pointed nose, not appear all flattened.
