1964 Impala
Photography by JH Peterson
This classic Chevy is owned by Dave Hipp of Brooklyn Park, MN. It was restored in 1996 by Russ Peterson of nearby Ramsey, who has rebuilt at least a couple hundred cars in his home garage. The power train is the original 283 cubic-inch small block V-8 engine and Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission. But, many changes have been made under the hood, including chrome valve covers and braided stainless lines.
The paint color is Bright Aqua, originally found on the 1994 Corvette, and meticulously applied by Peterson in his garage. Other added features include dual power antennas, hydraulics for ride control and a factory tilt steering column.
