Anyway back on topic vs Vegas. My mother missed a 74, but later ordered a brand new 75 2 door "Classic" series option and it was a silver with dark red cloth interior model. As I recall it was around $4500 new. It's interesting that you could order one with different grille options. The nicer version option was the Classic which gave a much better look, especially the interior. I even liked the sporty wheels and even the new spring loaded hood ornament! These cars had a nice ride and handled well. They were a fairly roomy car with a nice size trunk. They were a mid size car which made parking easier. She never had any serious issues and kept it for some time. I drove it very frequently.

I would like to read a review on someone that owned the later rare SE model. The swivel buckets were very cool. I wasn't a big fan of the Laguna version; to me a bit too much on the styling, especially spoilers. The later Malibu body styling that followed wasn't one that appealed to me either. They dropped the Chevelle name at that time.

She started buying the smaller body 2 door Olds Cutlass. They looked pretty good and had bucket seats and console. The V8 was a bit smaller in this Olds than the 305 in the Monte Carlo. I don't recall her having any serious issues in this car. She would always buy new cars vs other peoples problems as she described it. She had very good luck with her 70s era cars.
