Notes:
Biggest Chevrolet Change in a Single Year- The 1971 regular Chevrolets are the most luxurious the division has ever built. There is greater glass area for improved visibility. Glass and body contours are more rounded. Flush lift-up door handles add to body smoothness. The Caprice gets added distinction with a special large grid grille, deep ribbed wheel covers and standard rear fender skirts. Wheelbase of regular Chevrolet is extended 2.5 inches for added riding comfort and increased rear leg room. The body has a new flow-through ventilation system and greater strength double-panel roof construction. The new chassis and suspension system give improved ride and handling. A power disc/drum brake system is standard. New Chevrolets go on sale on Tuesday, September 29.
