I would have to agree...from the perspective of a young man at the time. I remember friends saving up to buy new Camaros and Chevelles and ending up buying older ones when the new models were disappointing. My buddy saved every penny for a new Camaro Z28 and was finally ready to buy when they came out with the spec for the '74. He bought an older Chevelle 454 SS. The Chevelle was typically the favorite where I lived. No one drove a Ford or Mopar. The new body style was the joke with the folks i ran with in high school who called it "an old man's car" or "for the polyester pants crowd".
