classics of American automotive design, especially in full-bloom examples
such as this loaded fuel-injectedconvertible. Built at Chevrolet’s
Baltimore, Maryland assembly plant, this multiple award-winner is a
factory Fuelie model with the FJ-suffix 283/250 HP V-8 packing Rochester
fuel injection and driving a Powerglide 2-speed automatic. In addition to
power steering and brakes, the car offers a power soft top, windows and
front seat, Wonderbar radio and dash clock and tissue dispenser. Its
dramatic MatadorRed paint, Silver and Red interior and White soft top are
further ornamented with wide Whitewalls and spinner wheel covers, dual
antennas and a classic Continental kit. |
