1964 Chevrolet Impala Sports Sedan

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE 

Renowned as the final iteration to utilize the iconic "X frame" architecture in Chevrolet's lineup, the Impala of this year boasted not only the revered "Jet-Smooth Ride" but also a diverse array of engine options, catering to a wide range of driving preferences. As the culmination of the third generation of Impalas, the 1964 model introduced several notable aesthetic updates, including a striking full-width sculptured grille, a sleeker silhouette that exuded elegance, and distinctive front and rear deck windsplits. Chevrolet's advertising highlighted these enhancements, emphasizing the car's refined appearance and tasteful chrome trim. Notably, the 1964 Impala featured a redesigned taillight assembly, characterized by an "upside-down U" shaped aluminum trim strip above the taillights, complemented by body-colored panels for a softer and more modern aesthetic compared to its predecessor. 

Robert A. Jones, a successful businessman and second-generation leader of the still going concern, Jones Brothers Contracting of Mount Juliet, Tennessee, had an innate understanding of the many heavy duty machines that were a part of the family business.  Early on, Mr. Jones turned that knowledge into a passion for road cars and acquired his first collector car in 1969, at the age of 35 — the famous Ford Model T.  That single and simple pre-war car sparked a passion that never tempered for Mr. Jones and eventually, influenced by the more common Jones family marque of choice, his passions would burn even brighter for early Chevrolets.  As his collection grew and changed over the years, his interests were focused on displaying the cars at regional shows and concours, as well as still driving many of his road-worthy classics.  Hagerty Marketplace is proud to offer The Jones Collection, entirely without reserve, comprising some long-treasured vehicles from his personal collection.
