The Chevrolet El Camino, born from a long-gestating prototype, made its grand entrance in 1959 to outsell Ford’s Ranchero, proving that size—and tail fins—do matter. With a “Safety Girder” X frame and engines that could make a speed demon blush, the El Camino was a hit. Yet, the 1960 model, with a tamer rear fin and fewer horsepower, couldn’t keep up with Ford’s Falcon Ranchero. The El Camino was benched, leaving Chevy’s engineers scratching their heads, likely while saying, “We’ll be back.”
In 1966, the Chevrolet Chevelle 300 series was the “entry-level” ride for those who preferred their cars as understated as their fashion sense. While 28,600 of these beauties rolled off the line, only a lucky 5,300 got the muscle of a 283 cu in engine. The rest were content with a six-cylinder hum. The station wagon, the priciest model, came with a snazzy tailgate molding and a vinyl-cloth combo interior—perfect for those who like their upholstery as mixed as their metaphors. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the snapshots!
Unleashing the Dodge Super Bee from 1968 to 1970 was like giving the Plymouth Road Runner a run for its money—within the same family! Chrysler’s cheeky move birthed the Super Bee, a muscle car with swagger, sporting a slightly heavier frame and a bee stripe that said, “Get out of my way!” With engines ranging from a modest 383 Magnum to the beastly 426 Hemi, it was the muscle car equivalent of a heavyweight boxer in a silk robe. Sales buzzed, then fizzled, but the Super Bee’s legacy stung on.
Check out these groovy snapshots of the 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu! The ’65 model year was a wild ride with the 327 engine becoming a regular production order. And who could forget the rare Malibu SS396 Z-16? Only 201 of these beasts rolled off the assembly line, making them rarer than a unicorn at a petting zoo. In ’65, a whopping 294,160 Chevelles were sold, including those snazzy SS versions. Canada held onto the Malibu SS badge until ’67. As of 2017, just 75 of the original Z-16s are still revving their engines.

Chevrolet Impala SS, the epitome of performance from 1961 to 1969, started as a humble trim option but evolved into a symbol of Chevy’s prowess. With engines ranging from a modest 250 cu in six-cylinder to a mighty 409 cu in V8, it offered muscle enthusiasts a buffet of horsepower. The 1965 model even ditched “idiot lights” for full instrument clusters, proving it’s smarter than your average car! By 1966, Chevy added side chrome trim to combat “door dings,” because who needs battle scars, right?
Step back in time to 1959 when the Chevrolet Impala got its own nameplate, shedding its Bel Air disguise. This second-gen beauty was a chameleon, offering a range of body styles with fins that could make a fish jealous. The Impala embraced the ‘bigger is better’ motto with its massive rear deck and tail fins that practically screamed, “Look at me!” For those who liked their cars like their pizza—loaded—the Turbo-Thrust V8 delivered a spicy 315hp. And who could resist the 1960 model’s chrome flair?
