1962-1964 Olds, Buick, Pontiacs and Chevys

Lets get a thread going for this body style.
I love these years and couldnt find a thread dedicated to them

Lets here what you have to say about your catalina, lesabre, impala or starfire!

what you got?

 

here is a 64 impala i saw at vintage ford in sacramento about a year ago....
i think a hamber owns it

 

Saw this car at Reno's Rockabilly Riot this past year, (then saw it again at midnight mass.)
Love this thing.

 

This one i believe belongs to a hamber as well...

 

I wish I had a pic but the '61 Starfire is my favorite olds of all time.

 

The Chevy's have been done to death but the BOP's are pretty nice.

 

I have a '64 Olds 98 that's bagged with Bellflowers and will be getting an OG set of Raders soon but no good pics yet. I look forward to seeing more pics in this thread.

 

Put some pictures up man!!!

 

btt??

 

I have found I have a real soft spot for the cars in this time frame, Subscribed!

 

You go to shows and there are at least dozen 62-64 chevys.dont get me wrong i have owned more than a couple in my lift time.but i got a 63 grand prix now.real nice loaded up with power windows.power seats,tilt wheel,ac,8 lugs,good old 389.i go to shows and cruise ins and how maney do you see? Then some dude with his family comes up and asks is that a gto? Go figure.but anyway when i want to ride in comfort out comes the grand prix..

 

you didn't try looking very hard:

Yes indeed. I'm doing a 61 Chevy right now. I think there's a reason for that

Still, I also agree with the BOPs being as good a candidate for a certain look. I prefer the 61 Catalina, and a close 2nd, 61 Invicta. Sadly, the investment is much higher on the BOPs, and when the day comes for them to go to a new home they come up short on the money. They also seem hard to sell sometimes, like an aquired taste. It's all good. I've aquired the taste.

 

my 63 grand prix from the late 80s

 

Argh, why do people not tell the person balancing their wheels to only put weights on the inside of the wheel!?





Here's a '61 Olds

 

My 62 Impala bench seat four speed orignal paint and interior driving it to GoodGuys in Scottsdale in a few weeks

My '63 Grand Prix bought from another Hamb member

 

Here's Magnet's '62 Impala, Kansas' '64 Dynamic 88, and Lucky/Dynamic88's '64 Dynamic 88. Maybe they can post better pics.

 

Not really HAMB friendly but you asked for it.
This is my '64 F85 olds. It was the first car I ever totally built , I was 22 yrs old. Its also where my screen name came from way back it 2000 when I joined my first forum for Olds help (JC's '64, get it).
She started of as a $500 rolling body from the junk yard and took one yr to build.

My 62 LeSabre.

 

That's Peanuts 63 from the Mugrosos. He's gonna be re-doing it this winter as a traditional early 60s mild custom.

 

Yeah aaron that thing is so badass. What is he doing to it?

 

Pretty much plain ole stock, but this is my daily driver '64 LeSabre. Planning on getting it a little lower to the ground and maybe a few mild "custom" touches.

 

Pics of my '64 with the new wheels as promised. Bolted them up today and just took these.

 

This was my '63 Impala. Sold it and it got raised to stock height and stock tires, also got a bunch of chain store skull accessories bolted on to it now too. Hahahah.
