1970 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle

1970 brought an updated Chevelle, with bigger, more rectangular looks, and even bigger optional engines. The ultimate, of course, was the SS with the LS-6 454, but plainer cars (like this one) were available. It's refreshing to see a '70 Chevelle with dog-dish hubcaps, no racing stripes, and Malibu badging.

1976 Toyota Corolla

The new, 3rd gen Toyota Corolla was introduced in 1975, and affirmed Toyota's reputation for amazing build quality and good economy. It needed to, as it had many strong competitors at that time, both from Japanese manufacturers and domestic makers (though their compacts were hardly competitive.). Despite a higher price and fewer features than the competition, it was still a popular car during the gas shortages. This one stood out in a sea of modern, silver cars with its ultra-seventies mustard paint job with brown, orange, and white stripes.

1976 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

The third generation C3 Corvette was introduced in 1968, and lasted all they until 1982, putting this 1976 right in the middle. The C3 was gradually restyled throughout the seventies until it had both the front and rear polyurethane bumpers shown here. Also in 1976 was an increase in power of the base engine, to 180 HP, and 210 HP for the L82. This car stands out with its bright yellow paint, tasteful modern alloys, and sleek shape.
