1974 Chevrolet Chevelle

The model lineup was revised for the 1974 Chevrolet Chevelle. Using the Deluxe axed, the Malibu became the base line, even though the best fullline series was known because the Malibu Classic. All models were about 3 inches longer, due to new rear bumper designs. With the Laguna Kind S3 Colonnade Coupe becoming the sole Laguna model, the 1974 Chevelle line consisted of 12 models, down from 16 in 1973.

The 1974 Laguna was down to a single coupe

The decision although to give the Laguna only as a coupe reflected the recognition on the Basic Motors intermediate coupe types in 1973. The majority of 1973 Lagunas sold had been coupes, and coupe styles accounted for 60 % of all Chevelle production for the model year. This ran counter for the seers' predictions, but nobody cared; twodoor Chevelles and also other Common Motors intermediate coupes had been a few of America's most popular automobiles, together with the Oldsmobile Cutlass finding an specially warm reception in showrooms.

All 1974 Chevelles had new squarish onepiece taillamps, while a standup hood ornament, elongated Mercedestype grille, and certain rear panel and lamp remedy helped supply touches of elegance for the plush Malibu Classic. A new Landau Coupe version, featuring a vinyl halfroof and specific exterior capabilities, was added towards the Classic roster. Each the Malibu Classic coupe and Laguna Type however the S3 featured modest rear coach windows. Only the base Malibu twodoor continued the larger quarter glass noticed on all 1973 coupes.

On the Type S3, rally wheels, sport mirrors, and lower body striping (similar for the 1973 SS) have been incorporated within the package, as had been a sport suspension and variableratio power steering. The Laguna's pliable front fascia was continued, but the grille texture and inboardmounted parking lights had been revised. Each front and rear bumpers have been now developed with the to survive fivemph crash tests with minimal damage.

The Sort S3 initially was built only in Antique White with a Dark Red vinyl roof, accents, and interior, a favored mixture even following other trim combinations became on the market. Inside the Type S3, Monte Carlotype instrumentation with round gauges was common. Around January 1, 1974, a Sports Roof choice, which integrated louvered rearquarter coach windows and also a fronthalf vinyl roof cover, became readily available for the S3.

The Sort S3 combined the Laguna's high using a ombination style

together with the Laguna's sportiness with the Chevelles nowdiscontinued SS.

Then, in April, the car's base price was lowered just about $300 because the swivel bucket seats, sport mirrors, fourspoke sport steering wheel, and radial tires became optional. This move made the auto even more very affordable for younger purchasers who liked the Type S3, but couldn't manage a pricetag in the $4,500 variety.

The gas crisis may sport mir have helped Chevelles find buyers. As substantial and thirsty as they have been, they have been still somewhat extra fuel effective than the fullsize 1974s. Nevertheless, skittish shoppers were obtainable taking a pass on Detroit's larger offerings and Chevelle production for 1974 was 362,483, a drop of more than 24,000 units from 1973, which saw the sales highwater mark for the thirdgeneration Chevelles.
