Suddenly the theme fi ns 'n' Chrome has taken a new meaning, with the back of the '59 style often colloquially referred to as "bat wings" and a tad tongue in cheek, they looked so strong that could almost be cut on them! The characteristic six taillights gave way to tears unusual design, but returned in 1960 and was to become a registered Impala, there was a lot of engine options, ranging from a 235ci straightsix to a V8 348ci, and you might even have fuel injection.

Impala raised three quarters behind the trim above the bill and leaving a fighter jet contrail behind a long chosen another color.
The outline of the doors do not just drop down from the lower level of the help window, the right angles, before falling down. The convertible model, complete in a pale blue metal seems especially surprising with some 79,903 products in 1960.

In 1972, Impala sales exceeded 10 million, and when the oil crisis hit in 1973, Chevrolet has responded to meet new design criteria and emissions requirements, the Impala has lived and remained a best-seller until the end of 1970.
These cars are designed to be driven at 55 mph all day on a straight line, but cornering speed can cause huge splash, and it feels to be a boat in rough seas.
