What year was the first Chevrolet Malibu released?
I know the Chevrolet Malibu is an old car but is it old enough to be considered a classic? In which year was the first Chevrolet Malibu officially released?
Joshua Levy · Updated on

Given its iconic aesthetic and value as a
classic car
, it should come as no surprise that the Chevrolet Malibu
was first released in 1964.In the 1960s Malibu was one of the most sought-after areas in all of the United States. Its Mediterranean climate, enormous properties, and close proximity to Los Angeles made it a hub for Hollywood celebrities of the time. Even now, stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus own homes in the area.
So when Chevrolet set out to release the premier American car, they decided to name it the Chevy Malibu. But what really sets the Malibu apart from the competition was its accessibility. Its medium size, relatively low cost, and variety of body options made it ideal for families and commuters that wanted a little style in their life.
The Chevrolet Malibu was so memorable that Chevrolet even released a redesigned model in 1997 to once again serve families and commuters with a taste for comfort. Best of all, newer Chevrolet Malibus are extremely affordable, starting as low as $22,000 for a new model.
