Any company that’s been around for 100 years is doing something right. Chevrolet has been around that long, but in addition to doing something right, it’s also made something great––100 somethings, according to Edmunds’ insideline.com.
“100 Greatest Chevrolets of All Time” was compiled by insideline.com’s John Pearley Huffman, a self-confessed “former Vega owner.” The list is made up of the Chevys that made the company’s reputation and secured its place in automotive culture. Entries include not only production cars, but racers powered by Chevy engines, and concept cars, prototypes, and movie cars made by or based on Chevrolets.
You might find fault with some choices, such as the 1971 G-Van and the 1962 Chevy II, but others, like the 1957 Corvette SS and the NASCAR Chevy Monte Carlo, are harder to argue over. The top 10 include:
- 1955 Bel Air Sport Coupe
- 1963 Corvette Coupe
- 1967 Camaro Z/28
- 1990 Corvette ZR1
- 2009 Corvette ZR1
- 1985 Camaro IROC-Z
- 1969 Camaro ZL-1
- 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6
- 1957 Bel Air Convertible
- 2011 Volt
Check out Huffman's entire list of 100 greatest Chevys and let us know if you think of any that didn't make the list––and should.
