'6i Chevrolet Impala Sport Sedan—one of 15 Jet-smooth, luxury Chevrolet*.
Chevrolet was luxurious before, but you
should see it now. With smart new styling,
the '64 Chevrolet looks even longer (but
isn’t). There’s even a whole new series this
year—the Impala Super Sports—with front
bucket seats as standard equipment. (T *
new Impalas and Bel Airs are more luxurious,
too. Even the lowest priced Blscaynes have
new foam-cushioned seats front and rear and
are fully carpeted.) Of course, you expect
more than just luxury from Chevrolet. A
choice of 16 power teams, for instance—a 6
and six V8’s up to 425 hp (optional at extra
cost). And quieter transmissions. Jet-smooth
ride with Full Coil suspension. Flush-and-drr
rocker panels, Delcotron generator, self
adjusting brakes and other low-upkeep fea
tures. If you’ve ever wondered how luxurious
Chevrolet could get—with all the extra-cost
options there are to choose from—that seems
to be entirely up to you.
Sew Chetelle Malibu Super Sport Coupe—one of 11 models in three tjreat series.%
You’ve never seen anything like this totally new
line of cars before. Chevelle is new in everything but
Chevrolet quality. Chevelle is a good foot shorter
than the big cars, so it parks easily. Yet the interior
dimensions of its Body by Fisher provide a generous
amount of head, leg and shoulder room. (Chevelle's
trunk is big and roomy, too.) The ride is sur
prisingly smooth with a rugged coil spring at all
four wheels. And not so surprisingly for Chevrolet,
the new Chevelle offers a choice of engines ranging
from an economical 120-hp 6 to a 220-hp V8
(optional at extra cost.) Choose the Chevelle you
like best from the three series—the Malibu Super
Sport, the Malibu and the 300 Series, eleven models
in all—at your Chevrolet dealer’s. (Like this good
looking Malibu Super Sport, maybe?)
