Not going to lie, as a child we lived inside a Greenbrier station wagon for a couple of years after my Dad passed away. Unable to afford our home, our Mom took care of us while living in the wagon. My Mom and sister slept in the back while my brother slept in the front seat. I slept in a little pup tent pitched off the back. It was the mid 1970s when people didn't collect welfare as easily. Mom worked where she could until she found full time work; once I turned 15 I was able to find a job at Blanchard's Shell gas station. It might be sad if it happened today, but to be honest, its some of the best memories from my childhood. We had a lot of fun playing cards, Yahtzee, jigsaw puzzles, whatever. We did what we had to do. Thankfully there is more options today for people that find theirselves in a similar situation.
What a great time to be a kid...I was 10...and loved cars...I own a 1970 Chevelle today...I get more looks and thumbs up in that car than in any thing else Ive owned.
I got a 72 chevelle Malibu 4 door hard top probably not many left I decided to keep it bought it when I was 18 just got the ls 5.3 dropped in it I love it I got 5 boys they all fit in it and love it as well be awesome if they came out again with the chevelle in 2023 lol
My parents had a '72 Chevelle wagon 3-seater. It was banana yellow. My dad would fold the back down flat and put down a piece of foam for us to sleep on during road trips. Best thing ever.
These vehicles are absolutely beautiful. The amount of attention paid to detail for entering and exiting at the tailgate, and the high quality craftsmanship is impressive.
I have a blue interior exterior 72 Malibu in my garage. My grandparents bought it new. Has original General Jumbo tire in trunk. I don't drive it only in nice weather. It's the absolute best automobile I've ever owned!
I miss my 72 Heavy Chevy 4 spd Chevelle I got when I was in the Air Force in 1980 had to get rid of it for an overseas assignment had nowhere to keep it😩
@@dwightl5863 Mine was interesting basically it was the SS hood and instrument package but yet mine had drum brakes and a bench seat and none of the fancy chrome that the SS had not many were built I think only at 71 and 72 like I said I had an overseas assignment I couldn’t take it with me to Germany
Nineteen years old I was making 1970 chevelle hoods. About two month's after startup of build they had engineering change in inner panel. They put a crease in middle of inner mid hood ,left to right so hood would fold up instead of going through windshield.
When I got back from my senior trip to Vietnam in back in 72 I got a Malibu SS. One of the best investments I ever made. Paid less than $3500.00 for her back then. Turned down a offer of $90,000.00 a few weeks ago.
When I attended Vo-Tech in the early eighties, our school had a donated gold 1972 Concourse Estate. It had been written off brand new after being in a flood. It had less than 100 miles on it and was completely functional. Obviously we only used it for training. It was in remarkably good shape considering some of the hacks that attend auto mechanics to keep from going to juvie.
They are essentially the same car, mechanically. However, horsepower dropped significantly by ‘72 due to tightening emissions standards and the adoption of unleaded fuels.
The 1973 GM mid-size cars were actually planned for the 1972 model year but the very disruptive UAW strike that lasted for 67 days in 1970 delayed that introduction. Just as well because the GM mid-size cars that followed were never as well made or collectible as the 1968-1972.
I had the 71 Chevelle, two door, lime green, Ralley wheels, and mine also had the 307 2bbl. Great car to drive and easy to work on. My first car out of college. Rusted out badly unfortunately. Thanks for posting the video-- it brought back memories.
This is among my favorite cars. I am great fan of the round tail lights recessed into the bumpers, As sharp as these cars are, there were very few of them left on the road by 1980.
Great built cars for the money....Frame,suspension,quality and any engine your heart desired......reason why there is still alot of those 64-72 models still going compared to Ford and Mopar.....just go to a local car show,cruiser or dragstrip.....they will always be a G.M. A-body there.thanks for sharing this.
My brother and I at 9:48 stepping out the rear of the Chevy Wagon. Probably 1970 and I have zero memory of this shoot or the clothes I'm wearing. The milk can coming out of the antique store at 10:14 was on my parents front door porch for 40+ years. My dad was a film producer ex- Campbell-Ewald who captured a lot of Chevy commercials and dealer films like this in the early 70s era. My dad also shot the 1972 Chevy truck pulling the log train commercial that can easily be found on youtube. Mostly filmed in the Colorado Springs area. The dad with the glasses and wife were family friends. How we rolled back in the early 70s. A window into another era.
My first car was a '71 Chevelle Malibu. Burnt Orange metallic. I remember when she first came home it was foggy one headlight was pointing up. Lol. Miss that car.
They went down hill starting in 1973, the great cars of the 1960’s were neutered by the federal government. The insurance industry played a major role as well. The 60’s were the best designed chevelle’s.
I think there must have been some unwritten law which stated all films from the 70's had to include music that made you think of polyester suits and tinted glasses...
And Henry Ford thought that that automotive perfection had been reached with the Model T. They didn’t even mention the hard-wearing and attractive nylon carpeting, or the scent of off-gassing plastics (now standard on all models with vinyl seats).
Did anybody else notice the guy standing over between the car and the wall and nowhere to run in the test lab if the machine should break simulating a bouncy gravel road? Also it's not big as the big cars! Sometime we forget how big the big cars work because this midsize car is so much bigger than the cars we have now. I prefer the 68 Chevelle of this body style.
I was thinking the exact same thing!! They also used a 70 Kingswood Estate in the 1st season and I believe a 73 Impala clamshell in the 3rd season. I believe it was in the 2nd season that reuben had a 71 or 2 Chevelle convertible which was seen in a couple of episodes. It is such a shame the stuff automakers are churning out won't in all probability last 10 years...let alone 50:-)
I really like those wagons but it would have been very difficult to choose a 70s Chevelle wagon that could not hold a full sheet of plywood when most of the other options did.
Our drivers ed car was a 70 Malibu 4 dr. 350 power glide. I liked the car so much that I later got my own 70 SS. Wife made me get rid of it, she was scared of it. I told her to stay away from it, my toy, but relented and damn near gave it away as that was back when they were every where. I wish that they would build them new again, really was a good driving and beautiful car. The insurance companies were the reason I couldn't drive it, they charged just plain stupid money just for basic liability. IIRC something like $4000. / year! About the time that The state required insurance by law. So it sat mostly for several years before I sold it.
Honestly, a car that lasted 10 years or got 100,000 miles without having the engine or transmission rebuilt was an uncommon occurrence, unless you really babied it. Now, the _average_ age of a car on the road is 12 years. Do you know why finance contracts use to be three years? Because that was the point where a car started having problems, and people didn't want to keep paying for a car that was in the shop a lot. My current car is a 99 Mustang GT, and I can remember the service work that either I've done or had done. Leaving out things like tires and fluids I've had: Struts and shocks replaced (one time) The clutch replaced (one time) The radiator flushed (one time) The brakes replaced (one time) I replaced the IAC valve one time I replaced the plugs one time. I put a new alternator in last month. I've replaced three of the 8 coil-on-plug parts. That's it. That's all the mechanic stuff I've done in 23 years. Show me a 72 _anything_ that had that little mechanical work done by 1994, then come back and talk about how modern cars are "throw away government mandated junk". As far as "government mandated", I'd think most people would think that making cars safer was a good thing.
So why didn't embedded antennas in the windshield catch on more? My guesses are either they didn't work as well, or made the windshield cumbersome and expensive to replace.

Yes , I like the 64 El Camino , when I was in my teens , a house we was working , there was a lifted 4wd one , I just couldn't take my eyes off of it , just wonder if it's still around.
