1967 Chevelle HistoryIn 1967, Chevrolet’s fourth-edition Chevelle appeared looking very much like the third as the body shell was identical to its 1966 forerunner. The styling theme for the 1967 Chevelle was similar to the 1966 except that the taillights were more square and wrapped around into the edge of the rear fenders. The grille still had round quad headlights, but had a bolder horizontal design and no longer wrapped around the edges of the front fenders. New for the entire A-body line was even more standard safety conscious equipment.
Among the long list of mostly minor items added to the basic Chevelle package
was an energy absorbing collapsible steering column that would hopefully give
way in an impact. Almost anything that protruded inside the car was either
toned done or made shatter resistant. Per federal mandate, a dual-circuit master
cylinder was added to the 67 Chevelle’s brake system as was a warning light
intended to inform a driver of his impending doom should the brake fluid level
drop unexpectedly. |
