what was the real deal on Smokey’s Chevelle? Macsmotorcitygarage.com did a side by side comparison

Sunday, May 31, 2015


this graph overlay is perfect for analyzing the dimensional differences

the things that are immediately noticeable are the front bumper sucked back into the front, the roofline is froward a couple inches, the wing windows are forward a couple inches, but even more pronounced are the rear tires, forward about 6 inches maybe.

the old rumor about it being 7/8ths size is easily proven nonsense, just simple math. A 7/8ths size Chevelle would be almost 10 inches narrower and more than two feet shorter (length not height) than a full-scale version.
