1967 Chevelle
In 1967, the 67 Chevrolet Chevelle appeared looking very much like the 1966 as the body shell was identical to its 1966 predecessor
The styling for the 1967 Chevelle was comparable to the 1966 except that the taillights were squarer and wrapped around into the edge of the rear fenders. The grille still had round quad headlights, but had a bolder horizontal design and no longer wrapped around the edges of the front fenders.
Fresh for the entire A-body line was even more standard safety aware equipment. Among the long list of mostly minor items added to the basic Chevelle package was energy absorbing collapsible steering column that would hopefully give way in an impact. Almost anything that protruded inside the car was either toned down or made shatter resistant. Federal directive required a dual circuit master cylinder to be added to the 1967 Chevelles brake system as was a warning light intended to inform a driver of possible brake system failure if the brake fluid level drop unexpectedly. (A real OH CRAP! Moment for the driver)
In 1967, there were 15 color choices available for the Chevelle, and three convertible tops and two vinyl top choices. Model choices were expanded to five, with the adding of the new Concours wagon. The base Chevelle 300 and 300 deluxe models remained essentially unchanged for 1967 with 2 or 4 door sedan and wagon. The new Concours came as 4 door station wagon, with a black accented grille like the 396 SS and wood grain body side panels. The Malibu was available in 5 body types. A 4 door sedan, 4 door sport sedan, sport coupe, 2 door convertible and 4 door wagon. The Super Sport 396 was available as a 2 door sport coupe and convertible. The now familiar SS 396 emblems were mounted to the center of the black accented grille and to the rear center panel. Chrome Super Sport script was applied to each rear quarter panel and Turbo-Jet 396 cross flags were mounted on both front fenders just ahead of the wheel well openings.
