Automotive History: The Chevrolet Impala is a full-size car built by Chevrolet for model years 1958�85, 1994�96 and since 2000 on wards. The Impala name was first used for the full-sized 1956 General Motors Motorama show car that bore Corvette-like design cues, especially the grille. Painted emerald green metallic, with a white interior, the Impala concept car featured hardtop styling. Clare MacKichans design team, along with designers from Pontiac, started to establish basic packaging and dimensions for their shared 1958 General Motors A body in June. The first styling sketch that would directly influence the finished Chevrolet automobile was seen by General Motors Styling vice president Harley Earl in October. Seven months later, the basic design was developed. The Impala has played an important role in Chevrolets success, said Robert Lund, then-Chevrolets general sales manager, by pioneering and consistently leading the industry trend to high styling and greater luxury in popular priced cars. The 1965�1970 GM B platform is the fourth best selling automobile platform in history after the Volkswagen Beetle, Ford Model T and the Lada Riva. In 1970 the Impala received the usual facelift which resulted in minor changes to the front, rear and sides. The front bumper was replaced with a split grille theme. The leading edge of the front fenders was squared off so they no longer played a dominant role in the front end design. The three distinctive taillights were on each side and once again recessed within the bumper. If you ordered the Impala custom coupe, it was outfitted with front disc brakes, but other Impalas received drum brakes on all four wheels. Prices ranged from $3,021-$3,377. Weights were approximately 3,641-3,871 lbs.
