Chevrolet - Astro II (XP-880)

time-calendar.png 1968

The Astro II, revealed at the 1968 New York Auto Show was less extreme in its styling than Astro I. Astro II was designed primarily to showcase its rear-mounted powertrain application. Unlike the Astro I, Astro II had doors to access the passenger compartment. The rear compartment hatch still lifted up - this time, to provide access to the engine compartment. The front compartment was designed as a storage area.
