About the Chevrolet Impala:
The Chevrolet Impala is a full-size car built for model years 1958
to 1985, 1994 to 1996, and 2000 to 2020. 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-sized 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.
In 2000, the Impala was reintroduced again as a mainstream
front-wheel drive car. As of February 2014, the 2014 Impala ranked
No. 1 among Affordable Large Cars in U.S. News & World Report's
rankings. When the 10th generation of the Impala was introduced for
the 2014 model year the 9th generation was rebadged as the Impala
Limited and sold only to fleet customers through 2016. During that
time both versions were sold in the United States and Canada. The
10th-generation Impala was also sold in the Middle East and South
Korea.
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, which was used as 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 directly influenced 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.
The 1968 model was facelifted with a new front end. The new rear
bumper housed triple "horseshoe" shaped taillights. 1968 also saw a
new Impala model, the Custom Coupe. This two-door hardtop featured
the same formal roofline as the Caprice Coupe. It was successful
and would be continued through 1976. The L72 "427 Turbo-Jet" engine
was once again returned to the option list, a solid-lifter V8 rated
at 425 hp. It would continue to be available for both 1968 and
1969, replaced by the Turbo-Jet 454 for 1970.
In a December 17, 1960 press release Chevrolet Motor Division
introduced the Impala SS (Super Sport) option to the market. The SS
badge was to become Chevrolet's signature of performance on many
models, though it often has been an appearance package only.
The Super Sport was known as Regular Production Option (RPO) Z03,
from 1962 to 1963, and again in 1968. From 1964 through 1967, the
Super Sport was a separate model, with its own VIN prefix (for
example in 1965-67 cars, 164 was the prefix for a regular Impala
with a V8 engine, 166 or 168 were used in 1966-68 for a V8-equipped
Impala SS). Super Sports from 1962 to 1964 came with engine-turned
aluminum trim, which was replaced by a "blackout" trim strip in
1965 which ran under the taillights.
