This is about a Chevelle—a very special one—with a
bulging hood, a black grille and red stripe nylon tires.
Start it up and you’ve tuned in on 396 cubic inches of
Turbo-Jet V8.
Get it moving and suddenly you’re a driver again. With
gears to shift. A clutch to work. Even a set of gauges to
read, if specified.
Now take a curve, surrounded by a machine that
delights in crooked roads.
This, you see, is an
