Who wouldn’t want to travel the entire state of Oklahoma in a brand-new 1964 Malibu Super Sport? We know we would.

In this 1964 marketing campaign, Joel Aldred—the voice of Chevrolet himself—invites us to tour Oklahoma, a “state of contrasts.” Our vehicle for checking out the Sooner State (Labor omnia vincit) is the Chevrolet Chevelle, but with a special focus on the Malibu Super Sport. The SS is “built to thrive on great chunks of distance,” the Canadian broadcaster explains. “And when you’re headed to the horizon, here’s a car that gets you there in a hurry,” he adds.”It’s a great highway performer.” (See our feature on the new-for-1964 Chevelle here.)

For its 1964 introduction, the Chevelle SS was not quite what it would soon become, a hairy big-block muscle car. Here, it’s more of a sporty family tourer. Nonetheless, the ’64 Super Sport was a capable performer with a solid assortment of available engines, from a 283 cubic-inch, two-barrel V8 with 195 hp to the 327 cubic-inch L74 V8 with a 10.5: compression ratio, a four-barrel carburetor, and 300 hp at 4,400 rpm. The L74 combination was relatively rare in ’64 as it didn’t enter production until June, late in the model year. Video below.
