Two Chevy Vega GT's in Los Al High School Parking Lot
Circa 1973 in the student parking lot at Los Alamitos High School. When Vegas were new, they were not uncommon among high school age drivers. My friend's red one is in the background.
The Chevy Vegas were quite popular as a first new car for many young drivers. At that time it had the same appeal as say a Scion tC would have today - attractive, affordable, maintainable, easy to maneuver and easily personalized. What seemed to have doomed the Vega was its aluminum engine block utilizing sleeveless technology in the piston bores and other shortcomings.
