Base Spec V8 – 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle

February 19, 2015

Compared to cars from other countries, American cars always had the reputation for having excess chrome and being rather flashy. Well, with careful attention, you could spec yourself a good, honest, full-size sedan with very little chrome, to the extent the car almost looks like it’s had an 80s-style monotone paint job. And with a few years’ aging, even the shiny bits aren’t so shiny anymore, leaving you with an understated – okay, maybe there’s just no statement – sedan with space for the family and the power to haul them down the interstate. Check out this 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle for sale for $4000 in Portland, OR.

The Other Flattie – 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa

October 17, 2014

If today’s Mercedes SLC is too big, and a Porsche 911 is, well, too German, but you still want a 4-seat coupe with some style and a little sport thrown in, perhaps the Corvair is your pick. Corvairs are to car nuts as cats are to animal lovers – having one or two is pretty normal, but if you have ten living in your back yard, people will give each other that knowing look behind your back. To start you down the path of being crazy cat Corvair lady, check out this 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa for sale for $3250 in San Jose, CA.

Generic Car Name – 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster

October 1, 2014

As with most car manufacturers, Chevrolet brought back largely the same cars after World War 2, since little money had been spent on development of new models. And the American public was happily gobbling up everything they could produce, even paying huge mark-ups for the privilege of having a new set of wheels after 4 years’ production embargo. And while the wood-bodied Fleetmaster wagons are most popular, and the top Fleetline trim level being more luxurious, the mid-range Fleetmaster gets you most of the experience. And it’s not like you’re foregoing air conditioning and GPS, as you couldn’t get either back then. Check out this 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster for sale for $2995 in Happy Valley, OR.
