ChEVELLE! by CHEVROLET-a great highway performer
Malibu Super Sport Coupe
Malibu Super Sport Convertible
Chevelle balanced performance is best!
Passing, cornering, threading through
traffic, sudden stops—Chevelle excels
all around! Chevrolet's new surprise
package has what it takes to meet any
driving challenge: Six or V8 engines,
hefty brakes, Full Coil suspension—and
a trim size that makes the most of them!
Chevelle means performance
aplenty—standard 120-hp Six or
195-hp V8 —and optional at
extra cost, a 155-hp Six, a 220-
hp V8, a new 327-cu.-in. V8! But
Chevelle’s performance means
more. Chevelle’s a foot shorter
than the big cars. And the space
Chevelle saves in size comes off
the ends, not the middle. So it
rides like you want a car to ride.
Chevelle lets you choose Power-
glide*, 4-speed manual* or
3-speed manual transmission.
Knowing how people like the
custom touch, we wrote out a
long list of extra-cost options.
Knowing all this, what's keep-
ing you from a test drive?
Certainly not
your Chev-
rolet dealer!
*Optional at extra cost
