Chevelle Wagon

Vehicle details

Introduced for sale in autumn 1967, this Chevelle was a fully redesigned midsize passenger-car range using two wheelbases according to body type. The shorter wheelbase emphasized two-door passenger-car proportions, while the longer version addressed the space requirements of sedans and wagons. This station wagon used four side doors and an extended roof. A longer rear body than the sedan provided cargo space, with two rows of seats forming a practical passenger-and-luggage layout. The base six-cylinder for 1968 was the 230-cubic-inch Turbo-Thrift overhead-valve engine. A single-barrel carburetor supported 140 gross horsepower, with a three-speed manual driving the rear wheels. Automatic transmissions and several V8 engines broadened the range from practical family cars to performance-oriented models. Malibu and other equipment grades varied in interior, exterior and equipment while sharing their underlying bodies and chassis. This generation was an important redesign of Chevrolet’s midsize accommodation and coupe styling.
