Badgeless 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle.

This blandest of commercials is exactly why a Chevelle should be the quintessential OPC.

But this ad is the reason why most Chevelle's aren't.

A woodgrain Chevelle? "Concours" indeed. Especially nice to see the original moss green paint bleached to white and replaced with actual live moss. The weathering pattern shows it's been sitting in this location for a while, but the general lack of pine needles suggests that someone has at least taken the effort to sweep it off recently.

If you were paying close attention, you might have caught a brief glimpse of this car on the blog about a year ago. Within minutes, however, Ben texted me, "Can you post something that you didn't shoot with your phone? I have good DSLR pics of that car." So I deleted the post and waited eagerly to see Ben's photos. I'm still waiting.

Then last week I made a visit to the skatepark near my house for a pre-work-day session. When I realized my tires had gone just a little too soft, I grumbled at the foolishness of not keeping a pump in my truck and packed up. But as I exited the lot, I spied this beautiful blue wagon, resplendent in the morning sun. I recognized it immediately.

So the trip was worth it anyway. I even made it to work early.

This appeared last week on one of my favorite blocks of automotive patina, just two streets over from work. Chevelle and Alfa spider previously documented here and here, early summer 2010. Apparently, I overlooked posting the 914. (Shot w/iPhone, for the record.)
