2023 Greenwood Car Show: Chevrolet

One Seattle event I never miss. I think there were more cars than last year. Let's start with the dominant brand in the collector car market.










1954 Bel Air. Nice, but it can't compare in appeal to the all-new Chevy in 1955.












1952 Suburban. In 2035, the Suburban will be the first car model to be sold for 100 years.














1935 Chevy Standard. They hadn't gotten clever with the model names yet.












1925 Chevy Superior. This was the car that finally convinced Henry Ford that the Model T was outdated and needed to be replaced.














1960 Corvette.











1965 Impala. This was the last year for the round taillights. Also after 1965, the Impala started becoming more of an old-man's car.








1957 Bel Air convertible. Nicely restored, this is the one everybody wants. That's not the original interior. This color is called Matador Red. It has a slight orange tint to it.











1967 Camaro RS.











Very rare and valuable 1967 Corvette SS with the top engine offering: 396 V-8 with 375 hp.









1969 Malibu.











1955 Model 210 Handyman wagon. Sometimes mistaken for the Nomad wagon.











This is a 1969 Camaro RS made into a copy of the Yenko Camaro. Yenko was a Chevy dealership in Pennsylvania that customized muscle cars.










1957 Bel Air. Very correctly restored.
