1964 LINCOLN
The wheelbase was stretched 3 in (76 mm) in 1964 to improve the ride[28]
and add rear-seat legroom, while the roofline was squared off at the
same time. The dash was also redesigned, doing away with the pod
concept. Flat window glass was for additional interior space. The gas
tank access door, which had been concealed at the rear of the car in the
rear grille, was now placed on the driver's side rear quarter panel.
The exterior "Continental" script was changed and the rear grille
replaced by a simple horizontally elongated Continental star on the rear
deck lid. 36,297 were sold that year.[29]
The convex 1962–1964 grille was replaced by a flatter, squared-off one for 1965. The car was given front disc brakes
to improve stopping distances. For the first time, parking lamps and
front turn signals were integrated into the front quarter panels instead
of the bumper. Taillights were fitted with a ribbed chrome grille on
each side. With the facelift, sales improved about 10%, to 40,180 units.[30] An oil pressure gauge was added.[15] Front seat belts with retractors were now standard. |

| 1964 CORVETTEThe 1963 Sting Ray production car's lineage can be traced to two
separate GM projects: the Q-Corvette, and perhaps more directly,
Mitchell's racing Stingray. The Q-Corvette, initiated in 1957, envisioned a smaller, more advanced Corvette as a coupe-only model, boasting a rear transaxle, independent rear suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes,
with the rear brakes mounted inboard. Exterior styling was purposeful,
with peaked fenders, a long nose, and a short, bobbed tail |

| 1964 SHELBY COBRAThe first 75 Cobra Mark I (including the prototype) were fitted with the 260 cu in (4.3 L).[5]
The remaining 51 Mark I model were fitted with a larger version of the
Windsor Ford engine, the 289 cu in (4.7 L) V8. In late 1962 Alan Turner,
AC's chief engineer completed a major design change of the car's front
end and was able to fit it with rack and pinion steering while still using transverse leaf spring suspension. The new car entered production in early 1963 and was designated Mark II. The steering rack was borrowed from the MGB while the new steering column came from the VW Beetle. About 528 Mark II Cobras were produced to the summer of 1965 (the last US-bound Mark II was produced in November 1964) | |

| 1964 CHRYSLER TURBINEThe Chrysler Turbine Car was the first and only consumer test ever
conducted of gas turbine-powered cars. Of the total 55 units built (5 prototypes
and 50 "production" cars), most were scrapped at the end of a trial
period, with only nine remaining in museums and private collections.
Though Chrysler's turbine engine project was terminated in 1977, the
Turbine Car was the high point of a three decade project to perfect the
engine for practical use |

| 1964 PONTIAC G.T.O. |
The
Pontiac GTO is an American
automobile built by
Pontiac Division of
General Motors from 1964 to 1974 and by GM subsidiary
Holden in
Australia from 2004 to 2006. It was a
muscle car classic of the 1960s and 1970s. From 1964 until midway through 1973 it was closely related to the
Pontiac Tempest/
LeMans and for the 1974 model year it was based on the
Pontiac Ventura. The 21st century GTO is essentially a left-hand drive conversion of the
Holden Monaro, itself a
coupé variant of the
Holden Commodore

2014 ROLLS

 |
| 1964 ROLLSThe Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud was the core model of the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars range from April 1955 until March 1966. It replaced the Silver Dawn and was, in turn, replaced by the Silver Shadow. The J. P. Blatchley
design was a major change from the pre-war models and the highly
derivative Silver Dawn. As part of a range rationalisation the Bentley S1 is very similar, apart from its radiator grille. |

| JAMES BONDS 1964 ASTON MARTINThe Aston Martin DB5 is a luxury grand tourer that was made by Aston Martin and designed by the Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. Released in 1963, it was an evolution of the final series of DB4. The DB series was named honouring David Brown (the head of Aston Martin from 1947–1972). The DB5 is famous for being the first and most recognised cinematic James Bond car, first appearing in Goldfinger (1964). |
