1963 Chevrolet Impala

Chevrolet was on top of the world in 1963, selling more than 2.2 million cars. Fully one-third of those were the big, big Impala.

Observations:
* Cars don't rust much in Seattle, but this Chevy is in remarkable condition for an unrestored car.
* Chevy offered 4 engines in this car, and a different fender badge for each car:
     ** 6-cylinder: Shield with a number 6.
     ** 283 V-8: V with a small shield (as on this car).
     ** 327 V-8: As the 283 above, with Chevy and checkered flags.
     ** 409 V-8: As the 327 above, with '409' badge.
* That bumper sticker, 'Au-H2O-64'. That's a Goldwater for President sticker.
