- Let's meet the street legend Chevy Chevette -
The Chevette was Brazil launched in 1973, completing now 50 years and having arrived together with models such as Volkswagen Brasília, Ford Maverick, and Dodge. The sedan had the same lines as the fourth generation of the European Opel Kadett, but with the detail that it was launched here months before the Old Continent.
Every year Chevrolet launched something new to keep the Chevette interesting for the market. In 1980 the model got a bigger lantern and wider plastic bumpers. In 1983 it got rectangular headlights, one-piece grille, plastic side friezes, rectangular lanterns, flatter hood and rear cover. On the sides, the novelty was the incorporation of windbreaks.
A spacious interior having the feeling of freedom giving you the best driving experience.
Here we see new BRIDE seats, original SL version steering wheel, RAZO shifter, custom made carpets and the
magnificent Fueltech .
A curiosity is that, during the four years of the model project, some changes occurred in the several GM subsidiaries around the world: the 1.4 engine, which was absolutely new, was only used in Brazil, because all subsidiaries already had small engines to use in the new Chevette.
