Chevrolet Impala: The High Scoring Sedan
The Chevrolet division introduced a full-sized automobile for the 1958 model year, which is known as Chevrolet Impala. It is named after an African antelope. When the full-size automobiles dominated the market, Chevrolet’s model became the bestselling vehicle, with Ford Galaxie 500 and Plymouth Fury in the opposition. For a long time, Impala has been known for its symmetrical taillights.
As a 1965 model year, the Caprice was introduced, which was a sport sedan that later emerged as entirely different series positioned above the Impala. The Impala was considered as the most convenient and reliable full-size automobile throughout mid- 1980s. It was enthused as a powerful 5.7-liter V8-powered version of the Caprice sedan. Impala was again introduced in the market in the year 2000 as mainstream front-wheel drive full-size sedan.
The 2014 model got the best rating by the Consumer Reports in the full-size sedan category. The chief engineer of Chevrolet, Ed Cole defined Impala as “a prestige car within the reach of the average American citizen” in the late 1950s.
