Even this "Forgotten Chevy" video forgot to to mention the Chevy Chevette. I had a '77.

FINALLY an honest, realistic assessment of the '75-'82 Corvettes. Chevy built quite a few of them so they're easy to find. Many still in pretty decent shape. Crazy thing about their lack of fans is found in how toward the end of the run of the C3, when the under hood power was completely absent, other features were actually a whole lot better than in the earlier years when the power was still there. The later versions are nicer inside. Far more likely to have leather seats, power windows and other creature comforts. Like the F car, Camaro and Firebird, the Corvette was still the same car it had been at the start of the run during the peak of the Muscle car/Pony car/Sprots car performance era. Small wonder GM sold so many Corvettes, Camaros and Firebirds in the late 1970s. AMC had nothing to offer a buyer and Ford had pretty much ruined it's Mustang before the FOX bodies would resurrect them to former glory in sales. The '75-'79 Corvettes were still "simple" no computer cars that any guy can easily work on. All they needed then and now is power. That part has always been the easiest part for any car guy to fix. Roller cammed, 383 Chevy Crate engines packing way more power than the iconic LT-1 top of the food chain SBC from 1970 is easy to acquire these days from so many suppliers it's price tag is fairly small for what you get. When installed in a '75-'79 you have a car that easily runs as hard or harder as any early model and gets there without the penalty of a less balanced car with a BBC up front. Better still? These cars still suffer the smog era stigma on valuation putting one together is less expensive and comes with no dilemma over "should I or shouldn't I" when pulling and tossing away the "numbers matching non-sense" that has never made much sense to me.

The 1954 Chevrolet was just a refreshed 1953.

No Chevy can ever be obscure to me! We still have our 1976 Impala and 1978 Caprice Classic!

As much as we'd like to forget the Vega and the Citation, none of these cars are forgotten.

[joeracerable]

I like the 1954 chevy it’s one of my favourites. 😊

[shawnhurley]

Forgot the Chevette. I know most people will say should be forgotten. But I had a 1980 two door that I first swapped in a 3.8 Chevy V6 with a four barrel and cam. Latter on a 4.3. That little rear drive econo box was fast like crazy at the time. Didn't go around corners worth a crap but that wasn't the point then. Very fun and cheap. 💯👍

The 1958 Impala is a highly looked for vehicle now.

So glad I subscribed to this channel.
Two days in a row now, I’ve had some really cool vids … that we’re eye opening and informative, for sure…but…
They also provided some of the best laughs I’ve had in a long time.

Thanks folks!
Keep it up!
😎👍

My parents brought me to the dealer when we got our turquoise 4 -door 1954 Bel Air. I wanted the fake woodie wagon. The only option it had was automatic transmission. No heater, no radio.

So, for all these bad to somewhat-bad Chevy's, you forgot to mention (or maybe you were ignorant of it's existence?) the WORST of them all; the 1924 Chevrolet with the 'copper-cooled' engine. They developed an air-cooled inline 4 with copper fins 'welded' to the cylinder jackets, a bunch of ducting tin around the engine, and 2 fans; a small fan on the crankshaft blowing air into the ductwork and upward, and a larger fan at the top, sucking air out (with a bunch of air-entry slots at the bottoms of the cylinder jackets to let extra air in). That is why all 1924 Chevys have such a high hood; it was for clearance for this large top fan.
Only 2 examples of this car exist today; one is in a private collection, and one is (ironically...) in the Henry Ford Museum. The tooling for this motor was sold off to a company which made generators, and they built a modified version of the motor up until about WW2.

One of my favorite old cars is the 1959 Chevrolet. Or as I called is as a child, the Batmobile.

7:24 check out the hitch ball on the bumper. Wouldn't be surprised if it was original equipment

[tomcrosby]

My family inherited my grandpa's 80 citation. Lack of a temp gauge was it's demise. By the time the temp idiot light came on, the idiot already cooked the motor. I did a valve job, and planed the heads, but it still lost water, so I figured the block cracked somewhere. gave it away.

You got some of that right, BEUTIFUL video though! 😊

[animalcorvair]

having six corvairs they are some of the best cars i have owned ...

[Glenn-mqts]

I was at a car show yesterday in San Jose, CA...about 70% of the cars were Chevy's.

[powellmountainmike]

The 1958 Chevy didn't sell as well because of ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. The country went into a short recession, so people held onto the cars they had. By 1959 the economy was back on the rise, and so people who waited to buy a new car went ahead and bought the 1959 models.

[mylanmiller]

The reason for the 1958 being a sales flop was the Resection it killed a bunch of brands. Desoto, Packard, and Edsel all died because of 1858.
