My son and I went to the kickoff for Hot Rod PowerTour 2008 in Little Rock, AR today. I saw a bunch of super nice cars and snapped a few pics - a couple I thought you might enjoy.
...the Red one looks like a 1971, but I think it is a 72, because of there is no bar across the grill on the 71, I think
Tailights are a bit different as well....except with the 71/72....they were virtually the same with only a stamping in the plastic lens that read 1971 or 1972.
'71 and '72 had the same tailights? Is that true for the Malibu as well as the SS? I sure thought they were different... but I'm gettin' old and so is my memory...
I had a red '72 Chevelle that was the biggest piece of junk I ever owned. Everything on that car didn't work when it was brand new. The front and rear windshields both leaked, and the gas gauge didn't work right off the lot.
...but crap is crap and I will not spend any more money on Detroit crap.
Sorry, I ain't bitin'... if you can't see quality in those cars then you are beyond help...
they were beautiful cars.
If you recall the 1970's is when Japanese cars got their main foothold in the American market and with good reason. The quality of American made automobiles was not good during that era.
I apologize for saying what I did and perhaps casting aspersions on your car. I had no intent of doing that.
I guess I would have been more demanding of my dealer with a newly purchased car and having them fix the leaks and faulty gas guage, cause given a chice between a 1972 Honda.
