My grandparents bought a 1963 Impala 4 door new. It was a 4 door with a 2 barrel and a two speed powerglide. NOT fast. It sounded like the Starship Enerprise with all the whining from the transmission. Grandma gave it to my brother and I circa 1983. It was mint, including the clear vinyl wrapper on the seats. Had different hubcaps but was the 4 door no-post version like this. Same color. If you were in Portland in the early 1980's, you probably us saw driving around, jammed to the gills with teens.
Car got sold for 300 or 400 back about 1987. My hope is that it got 40K worth of hydraulics and some gold wire wheels.
