About the Impala:
The Chevrolet Impala was built for model years 1958 to 1985, 1994
to 1996, and 2000 until 2020. It was full-size except in the years
2000 to 2013, when it was mid-size. The Impala was Chevrolet's
popular flagship passenger car and was among the better selling
American-made automobiles in the United States.
For its debut in 1958, the Impala was distinguished from other
models by its symmetrical triple taillights. The Chevrolet Caprice
was introduced as a top-line Impala Sport Sedan for model year
1965, later becoming a separate series positioned above the Impala
in 1966, which, in turn, remained above the Chevrolet Bel Air and
the Chevrolet Biscayne. The Impala continued as Chevrolet's most
popular full-size model through the mid-1980s. Between 1994 and
1996, the Impala was revised as a 5.7-liter V8-powered version of
the Chevrolet Caprice Classic sedan.
The Impala name was first used for the full-sized 1956 General
Motors Motorama show car that bore Corvette-like design cues,
especially the grille. It was named Impala after the graceful
African antelope, and this animal became the car's logo. Painted
emerald green metallic, with a white interior, the Impala concept
car featured hardtop styling. Clare MacKichan's design team, along
with designers from Pontiac, started to establish basic packaging
and dimensions for their shared 1958 General Motors "A" body in
June. The first styling sketch that would directly influence the
finished Chevrolet automobile was seen by General Motors Styling
vice president Harley Earl in October. Seven months later, the
basic design was developed.
Redesigned in 1965, the Impala set an all-time industry annual
sales record of more than 1 million units in the United States. All
new full-size Chevrolets eschewed the "X" frame for a full-width
perimeter frame, a new body that featured curved, frameless side
glass (for pillarless models), sharper angled windshield with newly
reshaped vent windows, and redesigned full-coil suspension.
Engine choices included the inline six-cylinder as well as the
small-block and big-block V8s. A new three-range Turbo Hydra-Matic
automatic transmission was optional for 396 cu in V8. The old 409
cu in "W" engine was discontinued early in the 1965 model year, so
early-production 1965s got the 409, as well as 1/10 of 1% had the
396 CID big-block. Other later-built cars had the 396 cu in as the
big-block option. Two-speed Powerglide, as well as 3- and 4-speed
manual transmissions were available. As with previous years,
Impalas featured more chrome trim inside and out, with pleated
tufted upholstery and door panels. The Impala would be the
#2-selling convertible in the US in 1966, with 38,000 sold.
