66 then. My very first car was a 1967 Chevelle SS396 It was brand new and I was 16 years old. Sure wish I still had that car.

It's a '67 Chevelle SS396 Turbo

The difference between the Caprice/Impala is in the shape of the front cap & grill trim.
This particular shot is of a '67 Chevelle/Malibu, the main difference being in the trim options.
If there is any question, just Google '67 Chevelle images. It's pretty obvious.
Sorry for my poor typing on this iPad.

I misread your original question. That is a 66/67 Impala or Caprice. Not Chevelle.

September 1st bike ride

Finally checked out a little known park near my house. Looks like the City will be developing the entrance later this year. Hopefully it retains much of it's 'rustic' appeal

18-105mm - more on Flickr

Suburban Softball park - I played ball here for a few seasons in the early 90s. Had no idea it had fallen to such decay and blight

Abandoned bridge in the woods just off the main road. Would be nice to find out the history behind it.
