Since I work in advertising, it seems only fitting to showcase some ads for the '64 Impala, starting with the ad for my car. My sister Linda, who lived in California at the time, saw this ad in a local auto trader (she was looking to buy a first-generation Pontiac Firebird and eventually found a '69 Firebird 350 coupe) and called me. After a couple of phone calls to the owner, I made arrangements to fly to California where Linda and her husband Dave helped me check it out. Since I bought a one-way plane ticket, I had every intention of buying the car.
