The drawings look like what the new Camaro should have looked like, instead of the cartoon we ended up with.
My idea of the Chevelle is the mid-sixties style which was characterized by horizontal lines. From every aspect, the theme of the Chevelle (and most GM A-bodies) was horizontal. Today everything is fat and tall like a jellybean with its ass in the air. No horizontal lines at all. As long as a phobia for the horizontal prevails in Detroit (and Tokyo and Stuttgart), we will never see designs approaching the grace and the beauty of the mid-sixties Chevelles.
