This 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible is a True Super Sport that has been beautifully restored and is ready to cruise! In 1964, the Impala Super Sport, which was the plushest and sportiest passenger car in Chevrolet's lineup at the time, became for the very first time its own sub-series (as opposed to an option package). The interiors featured leather grained vinyl with front bucket seats, a center console with console-mounted shifter, and distinctive SS trim throughout. There was no mistaking an Impala Super Sport from the exterior since they were trimmed with special SS full wheelcovers, a silver "swirl-pattern" anodized inserts on the decklid, along with various Super Sport specific trim on the quarters and decklid. While the basic SS Impalas were priced with the basic Inline 6 Cylinder engines, Chevy offered an array of larger, more powerful V8s including the iconic 409 which was of course the title of the famous Beach Boys track off their "Surfin' Safari" album. Interestingly, the '64 Impala continued its prominence in pop culture well beyond the hot rod era of the 60s and 70s with many famous rappers in the 90s and beyond, including including Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, rapping about "rollin' in [their] 6-4s" in reference to the iconic lowriding 1964 Impalas.
