    tonyola: First a '69 and now a '65. These neatly bracket my favorite year for Chevelle and El Camino styling - 1967. That year featured a bold grille and wrapa... more »
    DrLemming: Back in Car & Drivers' golden years it ran an essay about automotive design trends. I recall it referring to the 1964 Chevelle as the pinnacle of the... more »
    Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: I like the NuVinyl roof, even though it does have that spray-on hair vibe going. #1969 more »
    Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Pretty nice, if you can't get the matching Ranchero. I really admire the owner's consistent commitment to primer. #1965 more »
    Novaload: You don't see full-on primer like that much anymore, at least not where I am. Chevy really hit its stride with these Chevelle/Mallibu designs--why not... more »
    Maymar: I like the boxier lines on the Chevelle, but on the ElCo, I prefer the '68-'72 models. Of course, I'd gladly still rock one, and this one is pretty sw... more »
    DrLemming: The 1968-69 El Caminos are my all-time favorite of the breed, but I must admit that the rear overhang looks like Gumby's stretched leg. #1969 more »
    HoonThatFerrari: ***Any of you experts out there got an opinion on the subject?*** Clearly, it's the exceedingly rare Malibino. Or maybe an Elcamibu. #1969 more »
    Novaload: Also, opening that hood is like looking through a time portal---truly amazing to see an original in its natural state, and not all chromed up and spot... more »
    Novaload: What a beauty. One of the best looking Chevelles ever, in any format, but this black/white is really classy. As for its identiy, if you were going to ... more »
    skaycog was here: I like El Caminos and Rancheros......two of God's greatest creations. #1969 more »
    Franzouse: I'm frankly quite envious. Added points for -as Murilee pointed out- having kept the original powertrain #1969 more »
    günter macbeetle, codename: chrystlubitshi: i have seen people do the spray on "vinyl" top before... this one looks a lot nicer than others i've seen... but i would still prefer it not be there.... more »

    Ten Vehicles That Don't Belong On BuisnessWeek's 50 Ugliest Cars List

    Military-Style Volvo 740chero Wins Our Hearts, Minds
