The 1964 Jet-Smooth Luxury Chevrolet


1964 Chevy Impala Sport Sedan
    
     This is my 1964 Chevy Impala.  It is a 4 door sport sedan (no post) with a 283 turbo fire V-8 engine with a 2 barrel Rochester carburetor and a 2 speed powerglide automatic transmission. It currently has 73,000 miles on the odometer.  The car was originally owned by Virgil Huff, my godfather.  When he went to a nursing home he gave the car  to my mother Verlie Moore.  In 1986 she gave me the car.  I flew to Ohio and drove it back to Arizona. It had 26,000 miles on it when I left Ohio.  Three days and 1,800 miles later I reached Arizona with no problems. Although I did not have Dinah Shore with me singing "See The USA in a Chevrolet" it was a pleasant trip.  However,  people now tell me that not having air conditioning in a car in Arizona is a problem.  At first the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles was concerned that the odometer had rolled over and the mileage could not be correct.  The car is all original except for the paint.  It has been repainted with the original mint green color.  All of the major components are still original. My daughters  hated this car when they were in high school.  They would say dad, "please don't take the green car."  Once the boys started saying, "your dad has a cool car" they seem to change their opinions somewhat.  I drove this car to work daily and it has been very dependable.  They just don't make them like this any more.
