Classic 1964 Chevelle Malibu
I spotted this nicely-kept 1964 Chevelle Malibu Convertible on the way home today. Clickable image.
I found a blurb on “How Stuff Works” about the ‘64 Chevelles:
The 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle, boasted clean lines and appetizing proportions. On a 115-inch wheelbase, it sat squarely between the compact Chevy II and the full-size line.
Upright in style and conventional in engineering, the A-bodied 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle was closer in size and shape to the “classic” 1955-1957 Chevys — and a response to Ford’s recently introduced Fairlane. Curved side glass was one of its few special features, but a Chevelle was nearly as roomy as an Impala.
Chevelles came in two series: 300 and fancier Malibu. Sales started off strong, suggesting that Americans might be developing a taste for compromise in car size. Chevelles were billed as “a good foot shorter and a few inches narrower than the big cars.”
