  • The Chevrolet Chevette was an entry-level car made from1976-1987. The car was the U.S. variant of the General Motors global T platform, which included the Pontiac Acadian in Canada, the Opel K-180 in Argentina, Vauxhall Chevette in the UK, Opel Kadett in Germany, the Daewoo Maepsy in South Korea, the Isuzu Gemini in Japan, and Holden Gemini Australia. Although the Chevette was the best-selling small car in the U.S. for model years 1979 and 1980, very few survive. This is the first running example I've seen in years.There are many reasons why once-common cars end up on the automotive endangered-species list. The Chevette embodies many of these faults: hard to keep in smog compliance, indifferent build-quality, anonymous styling, joyless driving dynamics and comprehensive badness.
