Here is a question I've been trying to find out for years. I've researched it but haven't found the answer exactly and have found different answers. Why is the 1964 chevrolet such a sought after lowrider? It seems to be the one that is talked about most in rap songs and shows up in music vids and movies quite a bit. Yes I now that there are alot of others too. Like g-bodies, and other impala years, like 61, 62, 59, and so on. But why is the 64 the big deal? or is it just me that sees that? I've heard that Impalas back int he day were kind of a luxury car and in Hispanic neighborhoods that is the family had an impala back in the day it was passed on to the kids to drive and since money was tight they customized wha they had it it ended up being the family car. My dad said that they were cool cars he had a very rare 61 Impala SS. but in the sixties young guys wanted fast cars like Chevelles, Malibus, GTO, and 442, and the older impalas were slower and heavier. Hmmmm i don't know but Why the 64 imparticular is knows as the gangster ride? I've heard that several times. Can you guys help me out on this history lesson?
