There are many that will say that the modern version of the Chevrolet Impala is better than the original version and all the different versions in-between. If given the choice, I would still chose the driving experience of 1968 model. There have been many changes that were involved with the different generations of the Chevrolet Impala. The first Impala was introduced in the fall of 1957. The 2014 Chevrolet Impala has been introduced this month.
General Motors had a great success in their making of the Chevrolet Impala. The people wanted a faster and more luxurious car. This is when the history of the Impala began. The name Impala came from the Southern African Antelope, which is a figure on the vehicles. The first year the Impala was introduced, it became the #1 seller for Chevrolet. The following year, it was the best-selling car in America. This honor was held for more than 10 years. The chief engineer for General Motor’s in the late ‘50’s, Ed Cole, defined the Impala as a “prestige car within the reach of the average American citizen.” (History of the Chevrolet Impala).
There have been many generations of the Chevrolet Impala. The first Impala had Speaker Grills in the rear seat. In 1959 the Impala had the largest tail fins. The Super Sport Impala was introduced in 1961. “The ‘62 Super Sport was different from the regular Impala in that it came with bucket style front seats with a center console, a passenger assist bar, special emblems; wheel covers, side molding insert, rear cove molding, and bright metal transmission cover plate for four speeds.” The1964 model, had the largest displacement V8 available, the 409. That was the last year for this displacement. The final year for the speaker grill in the rear and emblems on the rear
