I have no idea how they went from those elegant and well-designed lines, to the last ones, with those horrid rooflines. The only one I liked was the coupe. For some reason, the large B pillar worked, but the rest of the car was so sad compared with the '71s. 1971 was truly a high point of Casey Shainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654097774209894695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-45272039771663625732011-02-12T17:12:42.847-05:002011-02-12T17:12:42.847-05:00Those 71s were terrific -- I always liked the 71 b...Those 71s were terrific -- I always liked the 71 big Chevrolet the best of the six model years. It was the way it was designed and in subsequent years it was changed for the sake of change (72) and then the horrors of the bumpers began. What a ridiculous looking car the 76 Impala hardtop was, with awful bumpers front and rear and that ridiculous roofline. These were ugly, ugly cars.<br /><br /Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-27304116153351645532011-02-11T15:44:11.036-05:002011-02-11T15:44:11.036-05:00The Pontiac Bonneville (largest Pontiac) became th...The Pontiac Bonneville (largest Pontiac) became the mid-sized Bonneville (based on the 1978 A-body, which was a piece of crap) in the early '80s.

I think they were optional all three years, '70-'72 except for the SS454 versions. <br /><br />You reminded with your Nomad wagon, how much I disliked it when the automakers would "devalue" a nameplate, and they did it all the Casey Shainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654097774209894695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-16366322437118326552011-02-11T11:56:34.958-05:002011-02-11T11:56:34.958-05:00Re your '71 Chevy photos: My parents got a rec...Re your '71 Chevy photos: My parents got a record album featuring the 1970 Chevys (the fender-skirted (!)

The Monte Carlo is a classic too.phantomXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250791056393523096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-42231707604546275522011-02-11T08:55:37.716-05:002011-02-11T08:55:37.716-05:00Good Morning another enjoyable start to my day.
