Chevrolet Muscle Cars 1955-1974

Chevrolet dominó el mundo de los muscle cars durante varias décadas. En 1955, esta marca fue la primera en hacer accesibles los V8 modernos con culata de válvulas, lo que definitivamente revolucionó el panorama automovilístico.

Sus coches estaban impulsados por motores legendarios, como el primer V8 de bloque corto que aún hoy equipa los Camaro y los Corvette, e el gran bloque de 6.7 litros popularizado por los Beach Boys, e incluso el de 7.0 litros que dominó las carreras de aceleración, en Nascar y Can-Am.
Sin olvidar el ZR1 de carreras y el LS6 de 7.4 litros, el más potente de toda la era dorada de los muscle cars.

Todos ellos están en "Chevrolet muscle cars 1955-1974", con los datos, estadísticas y cifras de producción, lo que hace de este libro una obra de referencia para todos los fans de los muscle cars.

Chevrolets of the 1950s : A Decade of Technical Innovation

As the 1950s dawned, General Motors focused its industrial might on producing revolutionary rather than evolutionary cars with the ultimate goal to become the clear market leader in the automotive industry.

To accomplish this goal, the company designed, developed, and consistently released innovative automotive technology. During the decade, Chevrolet introduced the small-block V-8, the Powerglide automatic transmission, air-conditioning, power steering, and many other innovations that made the cars faster, more comfortable, and safer.

Automotive historian and veteran author David Temple goes behind the scenes to reveal how these technologies were designed, manufactured, and installed on Chevrolet's fine portfolio of cars: the Corvette, 1955-1957 Bel Air, Nomad, Impala, and many more.

"Chevrolets of the 1950s" retraces the design, development, and production of these cars, but it also covers innovative vital components that were installed in them. If you have been looking for the inside story on GM's arguably greatest decade, the models, and the technology it produced, you have found it.

COPO Camaro, Chevelle and Nova : Chevrolet's Ultimate Muscle Cars

While few knew about the COPO program at the time, it is now recognized as the origin of GM's top muscle cars. Dedicated Chevy racers and car owners were determined to compete head to head with Mopar and Ford at the racetrack and on the street. But in order to do so, they needed to circumvent the corporate racing ban and resolve the restriction of 400-ci engines in intermediate vehicles.
The COPO program was designated for fleet vehicles such as taxicabs, but at the peak of the muscle car wars, it was used to build the ultimate high-performance Chevy muscle cars.

Don Yenko became the COPO muscle car program champion. He ordered the Corvair through the COPO program and created the Corvair Stinger to mount a SCCA road race campaign.
From these humble beginnings, the road map for creating the ultimate Camaros, Chevelles, and Novas was established. Factory Camaro V-8s came equipped with the 350 small-block or 396 big-block, which had to compete with the Mustang Cobra Jets and Mopar Wedge and Hemi cars. In response, building the big-block Camaro through the COPO program was devised.

At the factory, Camaros were fitted with the 396 engines and shipped to dealers where the 427s were installed in the cars. From 1967 to 1969, the factory and dealers installed eight different 427 engines, including the all-aluminum ZL1 427.

Later on, others used the road map to build COPO Novas and Chevelles to similar spec with similar results. The COPO performance car program did not end with these muscle cars. Yenko even ordered several hundred Vegas through the COPO program, so they could be fitted with turbochargers and raced in SCCA competition.

Chevy muscle car aficionado and author Matt Avery scoured archives and tracked down owners and personnel involved in the program to deliver a comprehensive story and complete guide to the COPO cars.

Chevrolet 1911-1960

El negocio de automóviles y camiones Chevrolet tiene sus raíces en la industria maderera de Michigan a mediados del siglo XIX. Los aserraderos dieron paso a la fabricación de carruajes y carros, y al reclamo, antes de la llegada de los automóviles, de que Flint era la "capital mundial de los vehículos".
Esta es la historia de cómo esos fabricantes de carros rápidamente se convirtieron en productores de automóviles, superando en ventas al pionero de la automoción y archirrival Ford, y construyendo la marca Chevrolet en la entidad poderosa y global que es hoy en día.

Este volumen recorre la primera mitad (1911-1960) de los 100 años de historia de Chevrolet con detalles fotográficos y proporciona una guía sin igual para identificar autos y camiones Chevrolet largamente olvidados (o nunca conocidos).
Desde sus inicios bajo el empresario Billy Durant, pasando por los años Knudson, la sindicalización y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Chevrolet atravesó muchos altibajos, éxitos y desafíos.

The Complete Book of Classic Chevrolet Muscle Cars : 1955-1974

The impact that an affordable American sedan with a powerful performance engine had on American society was so great that it not only changed the experience of driving; it changed the psychology of a generation. Prior to the introduction of the 1955 Chevrolet with its V-8 engine, cars had been considered necessary appliances, like refrigerators or vacuum cleaners. With a single stroke, Chevrolet turned American culture into a car culture.

Chevrolet dominated the muscle-car scene throughout the classic era. The Impala SS, with its 409 engine popularized by the Beach Boys, ruled America's drag strips. The Z16 Chevelle Malibu SS396 became the every man's muscle car. The Camaro turned the pony car genre into genuine muscle cars. The LS6 engine was the most powerful of the classic era.

This book chronicles the all-conquering cars of this incredible 20-year period.
