Behold the 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS, the crown jewel of the Generation 3 lineup, rolling in on the trusty GM “B” platform. This beauty flaunts a more squared-up look with an aluminum panel, chromed border, and the iconic three-taillight configuration. Under the hood, you could opt for the popular 283 or 327 engines. And if you’re feeling fancy, why not splurge an extra forty-three bucks for those “controversial” power brakes? There’s even a rare factory dash-mounted tachometer, just for kicks!
Got your attention? Let’s cruise down memory lane with the Woodie, the vintage station wagon that turned heads with its hardwood passenger compartments. Likely a Ford creation, these beauties were the SUVs of their time, merging style with utility. As metal took over for safety and durability, Woodies became a classic symbol of a bygone era. Still, there’s something about a Woodie that makes you want to grab a surfboard and hit the beach, humming along to “Two girls for every boy.”
In 1953, Ford celebrated its 50th anniversary with a bang—or rather, a vroom. William Clay Ford, Henry’s grandson, took the wheel as the Indy 500 pace driver, cruising in style in a Sunliner convertible. Ford’s trusty flathead V8 was still the engine of choice, now with power brakes and steering as options. And if you opted for a radio, your dealer would pre-program it with the hottest stations, ensuring your drives were as lively as the engine under the hood. Talk about a ‘tuned’ experience!
The 1956 Chevrolet 210 Handyman Special is the automotive equivalent of your cool uncle who can fix anything with duct tape and a wink. Part of the iconic tri-five series, this beauty emerged during a time of radical change, much like the hairstyle choices of the 1950s. With its sleek design and enduring appeal, it’s no wonder these Chevys aged better than milk. Featuring a 5.3L V8 and a 4-speed automatic, this car is as smooth as a buttered biscuit on a Sunday morning.
