Musclecarclub.com - Chevrolet Chevelle - History
Introduction: The Chevrolet Chevelle SS represented Chevrolet's entry into the hot midsize muscle car battle. The Chevelle SS was the high performance version of Chevrolet's Chevelle, and had its own line of engines and performance equipment. At first caught napping with just a 327 V8, the Chevelle SS would soon sport powerful 396 V8s and eventually the most powerful rated engine in muscle car history, the LS6 454 in 1970. The Chevelle, along with the Pontiac GTO, remains one of the most popular cars from this era and with good reason. Comments: Tired of falling behind Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and even Buick, Chevrolet got serious for 1965. Although the familiar 327 was now offered in 350bhp tune (L79), the hot Chevelle SS for 1965 was the limited edition 396, known as the Z-16 package. Only 201 of these 375bhp bruisers were made (200 hardtops and 1 convertible). All had stouter convertible-type frames, beefed up suspensions, front and rear anti-roll bars, and faster power-assisted steering. Comments: With 400 cubic inch engines available in its sister divisions, Chevrolet made the 396 engine standard in the Chevelle SS. But instead of the 375bhp version available the year before, the base 396 only put out 325bhp. Also available was the L34 396 engine which featured a taller cam, a stronger block, and larger four barrel. The limited edition Z-16 with its 375bhp 396 engine was still available.

History of Guy Chevrolet
Clyde lived at the dealership in a small room adjoining the garage. He took correspondence courses in salesmanship and began selling cars in addition to his other duties. In 1928, the manager of the Artesia agency was discharged and the 24 year old Clyde was asked to look after the dealership for a few days. A few months later, Mr. Lowery, satisfied with Clyde's managerial qualities, gave Clyde 10% interest in the company. In 1932, at the suggestion of the Chevrolet Zone Manager, this interest was increased to 25% and Clyde paid $2,460 for the additional interest. In 1952 Allen White joined the dealership staff. Through Clyde and Allen's hard work the dealership continued to grow in sales and service. In 1973 Eddie Guy joined the dealership working in the Service department with Chester Gable, then Service Manager. In 1976 Allen and Eddie signed the Franchise agreement with Chevrolet Motor Division.
