Save on the car so you can splurge on the extras.
You know you pay less for Chevelle than you do a big car. So why not invest the savings in comfort and convenience?
Put on the available Options and Custom Features that make the car even more to your liking. And with over 50 items you can get just about anything you want.
Some are big things, others are small but important, like our outside rear view mirror that's a real convenience if more that one person drives the car. Here are some other suggestions:
Four-Season air conditioning.
Aside from the comfort - the cooling, the dehumidification and the filtering effect - think of air conditioning as an investment. One of Chevelle's appealing features is its traditionally high resale value. Things you want on your car are probably things the next buyer wants on his car. So think of that as you coolly roll along with the windows rolled up, leaving the noise outside
Chevelle's special sounds.
Some drivers are happy with just a radio. Others are more demanding. With Chevelle you can demand away. We offer an AM radio, of course. but we also offer an AM/FM radio, and AM/FM/Stereo radio with a stereo tape system. Sound the way you want it and an antenna the way you want it - hidden.
Driving assists.
There probably isn't anything that makes you feel more luxurious than some of our power assists to help you steer, to brake or even lock the doors. The lock system lets the driver or front seat passenger lock all doors electrically with just one touch. Touch it and there is a secure sounding "clunk". We could have made it quieter, but the sound tells you the locks are locked. Power brakes come in two versions. Regular power brakes, or front disc/rear drum brakes with power. The power front discs (which come standard on the SS) are fade resistant, and offer improved wet weather performance.
Our power steering is variable-ratio. And that means you get a good feel of the road, but when turns come up, the power steps in. (It's not that Chevelle is hard to steer. Hardly, but with the new wide tires which give you improved ride and handling, there is more tire gripping the road, more to turn.)
Looks you can add to protect your Chevelle's looks.
Things like bumper guards front and rear, or door edge guards that keep paint from chipping when you open doors in close quarters. Or body side moldings to help protect your car's finish from other people's doors. And to keep your carpeting from getting old before it's time, color-keyed floor mats are available. To clean them, just take them out and rinse with a hose.
For convenience.
Have you ever tried our Comfortilt Steering Wheel? Touch a lever on the steering column and you can adjust the wheel to six different positions. Makes a big difference in comfort if there is a big difference in the size of the people driving your car. Also helps on long trips when holding the wheel in the same position can get tiring. Or instead, specify our custom steering wheel with a cushioned center and rim or our sport steering wheel, with four spokes, which gives a little extra looks with a little extra comfort. The comfort comes from the padding around the rim.
The sporty look.
There are a number of things you can order to make your Malibu or SS more Sporty looking and more sporty acting. If you want we'll put on black or white hood and rear deck stripes, depending on the body color. If you have bucket seats, you can order a center console. And if you've ordered our SS with the 400 or 454 engine, you can also order our Cowl Induction Hood. When you step on the gas a hood scoop at the rear of hood opens to bring extra air into the engine intake.
Bigger engines deserve special attentions.
So to let you keep tabs we offer special instrumentation. You get an ammeter, and temperature gauge, plus tachometer, all mounted on the instrument panel with an electric clock.
Along the same sporty line you might consider white-stripe tires, full wheel covers. If you don't see what you want. Ask. We have a whole bookful of special equipment. Things to make your Chevelle look better, and perform to your own specifications. Things like heavy-duty batteries and radiators, generators and suspensions. Even a specially designed trailer hitch to make hauling easier. Anything that will make your Chevelle the best car you've ever owned.
