Chevrolet Series 50 / 60 / 80 ‘1964

The most significant improvement for 1964 was the change from the dogleg windshield to the conventional curved type. It provided easier entrance and exits for driver and passengers and looked much better too.

And all these were in addition to the proved D60 and D60-H models, equipped with updated higher performance Chevy-GM-Detroit 4-53N engine. The variety of optional equipment was available – new intermediate rear axle capacities for Series 50 and 60, and a new 5-speed transmission option for Series 60.
