For the 1978 model year, the Malibu name, which had been the bestselling badge in the lineup, replaced the Chevelle name. This was Chevrolet's second downsized nameplate, following the lead of the 1977 Chevrolet Caprice. The new, more efficient platform was over a foot shorter and had shed 500 to 1,000 pounds compared to previous versions, yet offered increased trunk space, leg room, and head room. Let everyone know you are a fan of the classic mid-size car when you wear this '78 Malibu Chevrolet T-Shirt!
