1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

 

From Markus Anstadt: "1971 Chevelle Malibu. Base model, not an SS or other variant. Pillarless 2 door hardtop. Looks like it just rolled out of a Chevrolet dealer showroom."

AL: we love these kinda ordinary vernacular cars-of-the-period that seem to have been preserved rather than restored. Don't know the story on this Chevelle, but someone has been taking care of it. Looks like the wheels are aftermarket, though. Might have been a high school assistant-principal's car. Might also be a sleeper. At one time or another, might have been both. We posted a 1968 Chevelle last spring. And here's a 1972 Chevelle with a 350, from Maine. And a tuned 1976 Chevelle station wagon, one of our favorite cars, spotted in a supermarket parking lot in Colorado Springs.
