Russ and Diana Pishion's 1969 Chevelle -- About seven years ago, I innocently suggested we look for a second car for my wife Diana. When her car would break down, she had to drive my old 1972 Chevy 4 wheel drive pick up. She didn't particularly enjoy driving the cold blooded, stiff riding, hopped up truck. She insisted that if we bought a second car, we would get my dream Chevelle. Who am I to argue with my wife? When given the green light, I had to decide what year Chevelle to get. Should I get a 1970, the year I graduated? I finally decided on a 1969, the last year with the heavier metal.
