So, what's a Biscayne? Where did Chevy get that name?




I thought the Biscayne was easily identified by the 2 taillight per side design... But maybe this has an Impala trunk lid.


According to Wikipedia, the name Biscayne isn't very common, and is some place in Belize  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Biscayne

And yes, I know there is a Biscayne Bay in Florida... but you see that they didn't call the car a ******** Bay? Or a ******** Beach? So, I see that they named the car one word, and that seems to be a Biscayne, same as the place in Belize. When you figure out what the hell a Camaro and a Chevelle are, then tell you can tell me all about the Biscayne Bay. Cool?

FWIW, several of you were helpful and told me about the Biscayne Bay in southern Florida, south of Miami. And Delray Beach, Florida, in Palm Beach County, is where they got the name for the Del Ray.

Well, Chevelle isn't even in Websters... and doesn't seem to have any other reference online except the car name... but it too sounds Spanish (seville - Chevelle)

Nothing shows us on Google Maps as a town or city named Chevelle. So maybe Chevrolet invented the word

The Biscayne and the Del Ray were the cheapest cars Chevy made... intended as taxi, fleet, or simply cheap transportation. Baldwin got ahold of some, and tossed in 427s and 4 speeds, and called them BisQuick
