You've got the right car, but are you sure it's the Chevrolet version?
That's not what I had it as, though I must say it does look very American so you may well be right..
Can you show me proof?

You're most probably right.
I had it as the Vauxhall version but I have to say it looks far more like a Chevy..
Below are a couple more pictures, showing that this car doubled as both a 2- and 4-door car!

The emblem looks like Chevrolet's bowtie.

It does, yes; I looked at it as closely as possible but nearly went cross-eyed so I didn't comment on it...!
