Is that an Impala?

No not the vans, the blue car.

Update: I think Cherry_man1 is right. It does appear to be a 1964 Galaxie 500 fastback.

Looks more like a Ford Falcon. Although I'm not too sure.

Edit: Nevermind, maybe not.

I think the Falcon only has dual lights as opposed to the Impala's quad lights.

It looks like a 1964 Ford to me.

It appears so. Many Kudos to you. The real question is how the balls did you know from that picture. Seriously this is the second time I've posted an American Classic in an odd British place and for the second time it was answered in minutes. You classic car guys are something else. Good work.

Because it looks a lot like a Chevy but not quite. Therefore Ford.

I'm sure there is some underlying rivalry in that comment which has pretty much gone over my head but for some reason I found it mildly amusing.

Chevy had dominating sales at the time with the Impala (I don't have hard numbers but they would outnumber current F150 sales by a lot). That's why I felt the others made their cars look similar to the Impala but still maintaining a certain uniqueness, much like today, they seem to play follow the leader based on sales (after all that's where the money is).

Oh I thought you were suggesting Ford copies Chevy.

With these years I Feel like they did, somewhat. The rear ends are worlds apart.
