1950s–1960s
1964 Chevrolet Impala SS
A significant model year for the Impala's history
About This Vehicle
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala was redesigned from its predecessor with a sleek, sculpted body featuring a longer hood and shorter deck, a wrap-around front windshield, and a more spacious interior. The Super Sport (SS) package was the performance-oriented choice, and this example is nicely restored to its period-correct appearance. Notable features include a modern-day stereo made to look period-correct, and chrome wire spoke wheels with knock-off spinner center caps wrapped in classic redline tires.
The 1964 Impala was known for its impressive performance and handling, and this SS model is well-equipped with power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning. When the 1964 Super Sport two-door Hardtop was offered for sale, it came with a base price tag of $2,947 — a good deal when the average car cost $3,500 and annual household income was $6,000.
