1970 Impala
The 1970 Impala looked significantly different than their 1969 predecessors, but the only real differences were changes to the front and rear ends of the car. While 1969 models featured recessed front headlights in a combined grille and bumper setup, the new separate grille brought the lights back to the front and made the car look more similar to the 1968 Impala. But all body shapes were the same as they had been in 1969.There were also...
1969 Impala
The 1969 Impala continued a long-standing trend of continually making the body style more and more squared off – and the new version did have a distinctive and bolder look that complimented the car nicely. Buyers must have thought so, too, because sales were once again on the rise.But the sales of the Super Sport package were once again in decline. The sporty and luxurious option package had proved so popular throughout the early 1960s that Chevy...
1968 Impala
When the 1968 Impala lines rolled off the line, they were very similar to the 1967 models. Other than the aforementioned changes, Chevy opted to leave the car pretty much as is, despite the fact that sales had been falling for the past two years. Fortunately, sales would once again pick up for the Impala line as a whole. Unfortunately, the same would not be true for the Super Sport versions of the car.In 1964, the SS option package that...
1967 Impala

The results led to an ever-evolving car, and nothing was different in 1967. With the a few small-scale changes, the most noticeable was the new, flowing roofline for the Sports Coupes and Impala SS models. The sleek new look gave the...
1966 Impala
After the Impala sales high of 1965, which has yet to be topped by any car company, there was unfortunately nowhere for the car to go but down. And while sales of the Impala line as a whole remained relatively high, the Impala suffered the worst fate as its production was cut by more than 50 percent.The reason for the sales decline had to do with a number of factors, not the least of which was Chevy’s decision to make the Caprice– introduced...
1965 Impala
The newly restyled full-size Chevys, including the Impala models, grew even bigger than they had been before during the 1965 restyle that ushered in the fourth-generation of the car. After four years of growing progressively more boxy, the 1965 models featured more rounded sides. Additionally, curved window glass, and new hood and a brand new front end help further distinguish the model from those that came before it. Sport coupe models of the car...
