The last Impala wasn't just an American icon — this 10th generation also found its way onto dealer lots in the Middle East and South Korea.
The SS version of this Impala packed a 5.3L V8, the first (and still only) V8 ever offered in a front-wheel-drive Chevrolet, and the first in any Chevy sedan since the 1996 Caprice.
After four decades as a rear-drive icon, the Impala came back in 2000 as a totally different animal — a mainstream front-wheel-drive sedan.
The Impala SS was essentially a cop car in plainclothes — built on the Caprice's 9C1 police package, with suspension and cooling gear once reserved for law enforcement.
The downsized '77 Impala wasn't a step down — Motor Trend named the redesigned Impala/Caprice its Car of the Year, and production jumped enough to reclaim the #1 sales spot in the US.
A thousand of these Impalas quietly shipped with an experimental airbag system in 1973, decades before airbags were mandated — one survivor even played Kramer's car on Seinfeld.
The redesigned 1965 Impala set an all-time industry sales record — over a million units in the US in a single year.
Hidden inside the 1963 lineup was the Z11: an all-aluminum 427 drag-racing special rated at 430 horsepower. Chevy built exactly fifty of them.
Exported to Australia, this Impala carried a distinction no American import before it had: the first postwar US car sold there with a V8 as standard equipment.
The brand-new 1958 Impala sold so well in its first year that it made up 15 percent of all Chevrolets built — and helped Chevrolet reclaim the number-one production spot in a recession year.
