Hey Guys,
Just sold my '29 Chevy and now have a '77 Chevelle, Malibu Classic. So I have moved to a different group in ChevyTalk.
Just curious, what is the preference when it comes to explaining to others what I have? Should I tell them I have a '77 Chevelle or do I tell them I have an '77 Malibu Classic?
I did notice this category that I am writing in does consider it Chevelle.
I understand a little of the History and this being the last Chevelle, but was curious as to what most Chevy owners thoughts are. I can go either way. Thanks in advance.

I had one as a company car back in the day. I loved the long wheelbase and floaty ride. (NYC territory)
Blue with a dark grey vinyl roof- 350 I think.
It just doesn't look like a Chevelle so I'm going with Either the entire name or just Malibu Classic.

I've always referred to mine as a Chevelle (it's a base Malibu).
The first time someone said "hey - nice 'Bu" I didn't know what they were talking about.

I have been calling it my Malibu Classic but I think I will call it a Chevelle since it is the last year for it. Of course I will add Malibu Classic in the conversation some how.
