1963 Chevrolet Impala Series Series 1800 V8 HardTop Sport Coupe

This 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS is fully documented as the '50-millionth' Chevrolet built. It came off of the Tarrytown, New York assembly-line on June 10, 1963, and was first driven by then-New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller.

The Impala SS is painted in 'Anniversary Gold' - which was previously used during the 50-year celebration of Chevrolet and is built to GM's 'show car' standard. It's powered by the famous 409 cubic-inch eight-cylinder engine that developed 340 horsepower.

The car served as a touring promotional vehicle before being displayed on the showroom floor at Harry May Chevrolet in Monroe, Michigan for more than 25 years. With only 92 miles on the odometer, it was then relegated to a storage building and remained there until 1992, when acquired by the current owners. The car still sits on its original tires and has accumulated a mere 140 miles since it was driven by Governor Rockefeller 45 years ago. A delicate restoration was done in 2000 to repair minor damage that occurred during storage.

There were 153,271 1963 Impala SS models produced in 1963. There were 16,902 Chevrolets that had the optional 409 engine.
