The Chevelle->ke1197 was one of the most impressive models offered by Chevrolet->ke199 in the 1964 through 1977 model years, and although there have been rumors circulating about a possible revival, nothing ever really happened to encourage that rumor to be more. That is, until now. According to Jalopnik, Chevrolet will be offering a "surprise concept" next week at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show that will preview the return of the historic Chevelle.

According to their source, Jalopnik says that this concept will be a "retro-styled compact-ish car" translated into a concept that is "smaller than a mid-size sedan but bigger than a toaster." Great, we're glad they cleared that up. It also seems as though Chevrolet has trademarked the "Chicane" name so it is very possible that the concept will come bearing that name when it lands in the Motor City.

Let's just hope this rumor does hold water because after two years of Chevelle revival nonsense, we're about due for some concrete information, and maybe we'll get just that next week in Detroit. Stay tuned!
