Premium leaded gasoline sold for $.21/gallon. Regular leaded gas was $.19.
GM, Ford and Chrysler built flimsy cars equipped with poor brakes but great big motors that went up against trees and utility poles killing and maiming hundreds.
Something called the county draft board picked your name from a hat and if you were healthy enough, they sent you to Viet Nam for a year. Lyndon Johnson was president. 'sbout all I remember.

And, you got a free drinking glass with every fillup. I still have one with a New York Football Giants logo on it. I had a '64 Buick Riviera Coupe with a 455, and a huge 4 barrel carb. Sucker got about 10 mpg and must have weighed at least 5000 lbs. I ran into a shopping cart once at fairly high speed (no details will be divulged here), and it barely scratched the huge chrome bumper on the front. The cart was finished, though.

The showroom sticker price on a 1964 Chevelle Malibu SS was $3290. This was the first year of the Chevelle's being on the market.
