1964 Ford Galaxie 500 vs. 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS

The 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 and Chevrolet Impala SS are two iconic American cars that have captured the hearts of enthusiasts for decades. Let's delve into the depth of each:

1964 Ford Galaxie 500

The Galaxie 500 was known for its bold, angular styling. It was a full-sized car, offering ample space and comfort. The 500 trim level added a touch of luxury with distinctive exterior and interior features.

While not as explicitly performance-oriented as the Impala SS, the Galaxie 500 could be equipped with powerful V8 engines, including the 390 cubic inch option. It offered a strong blend of performance and comfort.

Known for its smooth ride, the Galaxie 500 provided a comfortable cruising experience. However, handling was typical of the era, with a focus on straight-line stability rather than cornering agility.

1964 Chevrolet Impala SS

The Impala SS, especially in its Super Sport trim, exuded a sportier image compared to the Galaxie 500. It featured distinct styling cues like the SS badging and performance-oriented options.

The Impala SS was synonymous with performance. It was often equipped with powerful V8 engines, including the legendary 409 cubic inch option. This, combined with a stiffer suspension, made it a formidable contender on the drag strip.

While still comfortable, the Impala SS offered a slightly firmer ride than the Galaxie 500 due to its performance-oriented nature. It also exhibited better handling characteristics, making it more enjoyable on winding roads.

The Galaxie 500 had a more formal, luxury-oriented appearance, while the Impala SS sported a sportier and more aggressive look.

* **Performance:** The Impala SS was generally considered the more performance-focused of the two, with larger engine options and a stiffer suspension.

* **Ride and Handling:** The Galaxie 500 leaned towards a softer, more comfortable ride, while the Impala SS offered a firmer ride with improved handling.

After some research and going back to look at defining features I can say with some confidence that Russell Shaw drives a black 1965 Chevrolet Malibu. (It does have similar features to a certain beloved 1967 Chevy Impala, so I wanted to clarify.)

Also you can thank my dad and grandpa for taking me to car shows in my grandpa’s 1964 Chevy Impala SS and asking me repeatedly “what year is this car?” and “can you identify this car?” That knowledge is what made my Google search only take four minutes to pinpoint the car.

Chevy Chevelle - Iconic Muscle Car of its Era

One of the most versatile muscle cars of its era, the Chevy Chevelle first came off the production line in September 1963, introduced at a Chicago press conference. Built on an A-body platform, the Chevelle shared the same underlying frame as the Oldsmobile Cutlass, Pontiac Tempest, and Buick Skylark. Its niche was between the large Impala and compact Chevy II/Nova, and its nearest competitor at launch was the Ford Fairlane. The popular mid-size sold 338,286 units in its first year and remained in production until 1977.

Introduced as a 220-horsepower 283cid, the Chevelle was initially available as a two-door hardtop, the Sports Coupe, or a convertible. A smaller number of four-door sedans and two or four-door station wagon models also made it to showroom floors. One hallmark was that it returned the 115-inch wheelbase of 1955 to 1957 Chevys. This created a smooth ride that backseat passengers appreciated, making it a popular family vehicle. By the end of 1964, the Chevelle was available with a top-line 300 horsepower 327cid engine that solidified it in the performance category.

By 1965, Chevy offered a performance 350hp L79 engine on its Super Sport (SS) trim model. Innovations included vinyl bucket seats with a floor console, a four-gauge cluster, and an optional dash-mounted tachometer that measured revolutions per minute.

In 1965, Chevrolet upped the ante, introducing the Chevy Malibu SS 396 Z16. The Z16 replaced the small-block engine of previous SS models with a big-block V8 engine known as the 396 (or L37). This delivered a full-throated 375 horsepower and is seen by many as the start of the classic muscle car era. The Z16 is also one of the most sought-after models by vintage collectors, as only 201 of the new trim was manufactured in its inaugural year.

The popularity of the higher-performance Super Sport packages on the baseline Chevelle was such that in 1966, Chevrolet made SS its model, which featured a 396 engine and horsepower options between 325 and 375. This more limited version of the first-generation Chevelle, the SS396 series, lasted through 1968.

Spanning 1968 to 1972, the second generation of the Chevelle relegated Super Sport to an engine package again and represented a radical redesign of the vehicle. The 396 cubic inch, 375hp engine remained the top-of-line option. Aesthetically, the taillights were bigger, and the back of the vehicle was shorter and curvier. With a cut wheelbase, the second-generation Chevelle also featured a noticeably longer hood.

The 1970 Chevelle LS6 introduced the iconic twin racing-stripe front hood option, which is familiar from car chase scenes in movies and TV series of the era. Its taillights were bumper-mounted, and with a 450 horsepower 454 block, it had one of the most powerful engines of the era. The highly collected model only lasted a single year: already, United States regulations were on the horizon that would make better mileage vehicles a must, and in 1971, the vehicle returned to a small-block 350 engine.

The mid-1970s oil crisis and further fuel economy regulations stripped the Chevelle line of its power and luster. By 1977, the Chevrolet Chevelle and Malibu series had only 145 horsepower, a far cry from their muscle car heydays. The following year, the Chevelle was folded into the Malibu brand as Chevy streamlined operations.
