This 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible is an absolutely
gorgeous, Real Deal Factory Super Sport that is absolutely loaded
with fantastic options! When Chevrolet introduced the Impala in
1958 as the Bel Air's flagship trim, no one at General Motors could
have anticipated how completely it would come to define American
automotive culture. Spun off as its own model line in 1959, the
Impala grew into Chevrolet's best-selling nameplate through the
early 1960s - and by the middle of the decade, it was the
best-selling car in the United States. The 1965 model year brought
a sweeping redesign that set the template for the generation, and
the 1966 Chevrolet Impala carried that new look forward with a
series of refined, purposeful updates. At the front, the fenders
were raked forward for a more aggressive stance, and the dual
headlight assemblies received bright anodized bezels flanking a
matching anodized grille - a crisper, more polished face than the
year before. At the rear, the signature round triple taillights
that had been an Impala hallmark since nearly the car's beginning
gave way to a cleaner, more contemporary rectangular taillight
assembly, signaling that Chevrolet was looking forward even while
honoring the model's heritage. Within the Impala lineup, no variant
was more coveted than the Super Sport. The 1966 Impala SS was
distinguished from standard Impalas by a suite of exterior
enhancements - dedicated front fender SS nameplates, a unique Super
Sport grille insert, and SS badging on the trunk lid. Step inside,
and the interior made the car's sporting intent equally clear:
Super Sport nomenclature appeared throughout the cabin, with
available upgrades including bucket seats, a center console, and
SS-badged instrumentation on the dashboard. For buyers who wanted
Chevrolet's best - in comfort, in style, and in performance - the
Impala SS Convertible was the answer; and not much has changed!
This particular Impala SS Convertible comes to us from southern
collectors who clearly enjoyed the car while under their ownership.
