Author Description

The Impala was introduced in 1958 as Chevrolet's top-of-the-line, full-size sedan. Through the 1960s, the Impala consistently posted impressive sales figures and was even made available in a high-performance Super Sport edition, introduced in 1961. This photographic history traces the design and production histories of all Impala model years from 1958 through two discontinuations and subsequent re-introductions. A selection of archival images and modern color photography depicting restored and factory-original models focus on the 1960s, the car's most prolific era.
