The third generation of Chevrolet Chevelle debuted for the 1973 model year. The third generation saw a major redesign, and was only available as a coupe, sedan, or station wagon. Trim levels included the base Deluxe, intermediate Malibu & Malibu SS, and the top tier Laguna. Production of the Chevrolet Chevelle ended in 1977, and the Malibu trim became a standalone model, replacing the Chevelle.
