In 1966, Chevy II transformed into a sharper, more angular beast with a bolder grill and a semi-fastback flair—like a car determined to make geometry cool. The Nova SS, the top dog, flaunted a 194 cu in inline-six but could flex with any engine, turning it into a muscle car with attitude. By 1967, safety upgrades joined the party, making this ride as safe as it was stylish. Despite these changes, only 8% went for the Nova SS with a V8—proving that not everyone was ready to go full throttle on the highway of life!

Who will cross the finish line first? Spoiler alert: it’s not the spectators who’ll be left in the dust!

And yes, it even has air conditioning, because even muscle cars have a soft side!

The Camaro’s evolution from ’67 to ’69 is like watching a superhero get a makeover. The ’68 models ditched their side vents for that fresh Astro ventilation, while ’69 went full-on sporty with a wider, lower stance. The RS/SS combo was the Camaro’s version of a tuxedo, complete with headlight covers and a headlight washing system. Sales figures flipped like a pancake, especially the Z28, which went from a whisper to a roar, tripling its numbers by ’69. Who knew a car could get such a glow-up?

The Chevrolet Impala’s fourth-gen era (1965-1970) was like a rock ‘n’ roll concert, loud and unforgettable. In ’65, it sold over a million units, a record still unbroken today—take that, modern cars! The Impala transformed with groovy full coil springs and frameless windows, while the Caprice joined as the fancy sibling with wood-grained bling. Fast forward to ’69, and the Impala ditched its coke bottle curves for a more sophisticated vibe, sporting wrap-around bumpers and a cool ventilation system.

Behold the 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS, the crown jewel of the Generation 3 lineup, rolling in on the trusty GM “B” platform. This beauty flaunts a more squared-up look with an aluminum panel, chromed border, and the iconic three-taillight configuration. Under the hood, you could opt for the popular 283 or 327 engines. And if you’re feeling fancy, why not splurge an extra forty-three bucks for those “controversial” power brakes? There’s even a rare factory dash-mounted tachometer, just for kicks!

The fourth-generation El Camino (1973-1977) was the largest yet, boasting a two-door Chevelle wagon platform with bumpers that could absorb a small asteroid.

Engine options ranged from “get me there” to “hold my coffee,” peaking with a 454-cubic-inch beast. New features included swivel seats, turbine wheels, and a gas tank that could outlast your bladder.

Chevrolet SS, the car everyone loved but nobody bought, is officially hitting the brakes after 2017. General Motors North America President Alan Batey announced this sad news at the Detroit Auto Show, leaving car enthusiasts shaking their heads in disbelief. The SS, with its roots in Australia, will cease production as GM wraps up its operations down under. It seems the SS was the wallflower of the automotive prom—underrated, unnoticed, and now, unfortunately, unavailable.
