Preserving
Your Old Chevrolet Impala |

"A prestige car within
the reach of the average American citizen."
This was said by Chevrolet's chief engineer
in the late 50s when he was asked to describe
the Chevrolet Impala. This sedan-based
automobile is indeed one of the most successful
and prestigious cars built by Chevrolet,
having endured the industry's tough competition
for more than three decades. Its name
seemed to have brought much luck to Chevrolet
that it was revived twice-in 1994 and
in 2000 after eight and four years of
hiatus.
The Chevrolet Impala was introduced in
1958 as an up-level sporty trim package
of the Chevrolet Bel Air, Chevrolet's
most expensive line of coupes and convertibles
then. It featured six unique taillights
and a distinctive body styling. In the
following year, it became a separate model
and eventually became Chevrolet's best-selling
car for many years. It was also the best-selling
full-size passenger car during its production
life. Particularly in 1965, Chevrolet
produced more than a million units of
Chevrolet Impala, a record which has never
been matched until now.
Just like all other cars, the Chevrolet
Impala also underwent several changes
through the years. The most significant
change was made with the 1977 Chevrolet
Impala. The redesign was due to the rising
gasoline prices that hampered production
of muscle and full-size passenger cars.
As a result, most cars in the US including
the Chevrolet Impala got smaller, lighter
and more fuel efficient. Although downsized,
Chevrolet Impalas still possessed good
qualities of the older models in terms
of styling, high quality auto parts, safety
and performance. What's remarkable with
the new models is their increased head,
leg and trunk space.
Only a few Chevrolet Impalas were produced
during its last year of production in
1996, which made it a good choice for
auto collectors. If you are one of those
car enthusiasts who are fond of collecting
and driving classic or old vehicles, older
model of Chevrolet Impala can be a great
addition to your collection. Maintaining
an old Chevrolet Impala should not be
a problem with the host of auto parts
stores in your vicinity and even online.
