In 1970, you could by a "Chevelle" wagon, four door. Went by names like Concours, Greenbrier, and Nomad.

Eight cylinder engines were offered.

I am not a vintage Chevy muscle guy, but I know for a fact that Oldsmobile 442 wagons were ordered and delivered during this time. Berejik Olds used to enter one in shows around here.

If a savvy buyer ticked the right boxes, the equivalent of a Chevelle SS wagon could be had in 1970, I'm sure, and they would have been four door cars

Chevy Impala was 4 door muscle too. I'd like to see a muscular sedan from Chevy.

Hmmmm. The headlights look suspiciously Acura-ish to me.

I get that. It just doesn't make any sense to call a car "SS" when SS was an upgrade to a car.

It was a trim level, not a model. I'm with ya. I'm not all that happy with the name either, but I am VERY happy with a V8 powered, RWD Sedan!

Here are a few more pictures of the NASCAR prototype taken from a test session at Martinsville Speedway today.

I agree. There is some obvious Impala influence in the front end too. I'm sure it's a half assed photoshop.

Kinda looks like a Camry too...

That one looks like a Malibu.

Can't these "artists" or "designers" be at least somewhat original?
