1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Series

For 1966 (in a similar fashion to the Chevelle), the Chevy II was given a new body that featured a single unit headlamp in a new bezel. The headlamps were joined by an updated anodized aluminum grille, and turn directional signal lamps in the front bumper. The back of the car housed new vertical-type taillights, of the single unit type, with built-in backup lamps.
