Amazingly, I can't even find a listing for a Chevelle 4dr or wagon (which would be the same). As you have probably realized, 4dr cars are not as popular and parts suppliers don't thing there's enough market. The primary difference is the 4" longer wheelbase (116" for the 4dr vs 112" for the 2dr). One option is to buy the 2dr lines, cut them in the middle, flare the ends, and add a short straight section. Also, try calling Inline Tube. If they feel there is enough of a market for a tube they do not currently carry, they will use your original line as a pattern and will give you the first production part for free for your trouble.
