17 Vintage Photos of Classic Chevrolets From the 1960s

The 1960s marked several impressive feats for Chevrolet, but nothing defined the decade quite like Super Sports. From Camaros and Chevelles to Novas and Impalas, this trim option was wildly popular and rapidly reached into “iconic” territory. The Corvair became a fan-favorite daily driver, Corvettes continued to make waves, and the muscle car era was born (with everlasting fanfare). These vintage photos of classic Chevys from the 1960s take us back to one of the automaker’s most defining decades.
