Nice choice for the just married couple, a brand new 1964 Impala Convertible. I know that marriage lasted.

[@fallingdownlessons]

Beautiful footage. 409 big block Biscayne, four-wheel drum brakes, and no seat belts. Ah, the good old days!

[@acebrandon3522]

No airbags, A/C or that crap in the dash (Touch Screen). Just flying by your seat of your pants.... That's living, the good old days.

If only we could relive those days of always being at risk of flying through your windshield

That 1964 Chevy Biscayne patrol car had a 409 engine as indicated by the fender emblem. Look for the flagged V emblem on the drivers side front fender, just above it are the numerals 409.
