[caption id="attachment_1362" align="alignnone" width="550"] Chevelle Console Kit, Turbo Hydra-Matic w/Shifter[/caption] The appearance and function of a classic Chevelle’s center console is an area of prime importance because the console is both highly visible and an essential control component at the same time.

Chevy’s New Smart Lights

Most anyone who has driven a car knows that when the “idiot lights” on your dashboard light up, it is never a good thing. Although the “idiot lights” are designed to inform the driver that there is a problem with the car’s mechanical or electrical systems, when one or more such warning lamps actually do light up, the lamps do not give any data on exactly what the problem is. The “idiot light” that is probably the most familiar to…

OPGI Customer Car Spotlight: 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS

[gallery ids="1015,1016,1017,1018,1020,1019,1021,1022,1024,1011,1025,1026,1028"]   The story behind Shannon Foster’s immaculate 1965 Chevelle SS might be titled “A Tale of Two Family Projects,” but that would be inaccurate, as only one Foster family project (the car) was ever really completed and the other project (kitchen remodel) is still ongoing. As Shannon tells the story, he once had a different '65 Chevelle Malibu SS back in 1979 when he and his future wife were first dating in his high school days. “Life happened”…
