1964 Chevrolet Impala

When it comes to classic cars Chevrolet is one of the few car companies that stands out. The Chevrolet Impala is another beautiful car which was very popular when it was first introduced and still is today. This model is the 1964 Chevy Impala. The Impala first began its production in 1958 and remains one of Chevrolet's most revered nameplates. Building on a theme presented at the 1956 GM Motoramas, the 1958 Impala had ample chrome decorations over nicely sculpted fenders. It also included Chevy's first dual headlamps and triple tail lamps. Over the years the Impala went in and out of production but has proved itself in the car industry. The Impala set the standard for comfort and value, and is even considered to give birth to the American Muscle Car. Over the years the Impala has stayed true to this and has kept pushing towards becoming a better vehicle for more excitement and dependability.
