May 23, 200818 yr So I was looking through a recent issue of Lowrider Magazine. And I noticed a car called "Major League". It's Jacque Jones 1964 Impala. Check it out. http://www.lowridermagazine.com/features/0...ible/index.html Major League - 1964 Chevrolet Impala Convertible Big-Leaguer Jacque Jones Covered All The Bases When He Drove Home This Sweet '64 Ragtop. By Jeffrey Rick photographer: Saul Vargas Anyone who's read this magazine for any length of time knows that lowriders come from all walks of life. We've featured cars owned by lawyers, teachers, engineers, etc. as well as a number of professional athletes. Adding his name to that roster is slugging Major League baseball outfielder Jacque Jones, who just became a member of the Detroit Tigers during the off-season after multiple productive years with the Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs. Growing up in san Diego, California, where he was three-sport star in high school before enrolling at the university of southern California, Jacques soaked up what he saw on the vibrant san Diego lowriding scene. Now that he's a professional athlete, he can roll in any car he wants, but to his credit, Jacques decided to add a real lowrider to his collection. it's no accident that Jacques calls his bombay blue '64 Chevy impala convertible "Major League," as he made sure that the car was of the finest professional quality in every respect. Since he's busy swinging for the fences and shagging fly balls for much of the year, Jacques entrusted MarkTurner, the owner of Major League Restoration in san Diego, to manage the project for him. Jacques wanted a car that would be an all-star performer on the show floors as well as the bou levard, and Mark drove the project home for him. in fact, he hit a grand slam. "Jacque came to me and had a vision of what he wanted," Mark remarks, "so we got together and made it happen with the help of my brother keith Dunn and my company, Major League Restoration." Jacque's more than willing to give Major League Restoration the fame, now that he has a '64 with real game.
