It's almost a "five star" rating, but....
The book is filled with a number of excellent photographs, both of actual production Chevelles, as well as various styling and engineering "exercises". The technical information is also very complete, including many little known facts.However, the book could be an easier/better read, as it frequently jumps around, interjecting technical facts about big block engines, right in the middle of a discussion of something like the option content of the Super Sport package, for instance. There was also interjection of the Super Sport packages being offered on other Chevy cars, and while certainly interesting, should have been off in a separate section of the book.Don't get me wrong, I truly believe the book has a wealth of information, and is truly worth the money. This book brought back a lot of memories for me, as I owned a Chevelle SS, back in the early 1970s, as my first brand new car. My only criticism is that the book could have been laid out a little better, and been a smoother read.

Review of Fifty Years of Chevelle.
I have not thoroughly read the book cover to cover, but what I have read is very good. There are a lot of details about Chevelles, but not so detailed that the average Chevelle owner becomes overwhelmed. Also, what I have read so far is 99.9% accurate. So far the things that are not quite correct or are a little incomplete are VERY minor. This is a fine quality and an excellent book for any Chevelle buff's library. I've owned and worked on Chevelles since 1971 and have become quite familiar with 64-72 models. The book is primarily informational for people interested in owning or learning about Chevelles as opposed to acquiring knowledge about how to repair or restore a Chevelle. That information would be found in the service manuals.

Nice book
Very informative book. Lots of data and information about various Chevelle models. While this book is illustrated it's more than just a "picture book". It arrived with the front dust cover scratched. No fault of the packing material. It was mishandled during storage or packing.

A lot of good information. Me myself
I'm into the 73-77 Chevelles, El Caminos and GMC Sprints. This book has a lot of rare photo, probably some from the GM Chevrolet archives. This book contains photos that were rare. A lot of good information. Me myself, I have been studying the 73-77 Chevelles, El Camino, and GMC Sprint since 1987. My personal opinion is that this book has a lot of good chunk of information. I strongly recommend this book to a Chevelle, El Camino, GMC Sprint enthusiast. Awsome book to have!

I purchased this book for my dad for Christmas, and he absolutely loves it. He loves browsing through books like these, with tons of pictures of old muscle cars. He especially loves this one because he and my mom are currently working to restore her old 1969 Chevelle. I'm almost 30 years old and I've never seen this car in one piece (save for some old photos lying around the house). I'm excited for them to finally complete this project and get to drive around in their old car again.

Cool Chevelle book
I like this book a lot. Having owned a few Chevelles in the past, and still owning a 1970 Chevelle / Malibu, it is nice to reminisce when looking at them and reading about them in the pages of this informative book. It also explains the history of them, and how & why they came into existence. I am pleased with this book and would recommend it to others.

Cannot recommend this book
I did not like this book at all. Thought there would be a lot more about the SS Chevelles. I would not recommend this book. Bought the Complete Book of Camaro and it was a far better book.
