The name Impala was first used for a 1956 General Motors Motorama car show containing Corvette-like designs, especially the grille. Painted emerald green metallic, with white interior, Impala concept car featuring hardtop styling. Clare MacKichan's design team, along with designers from Pontiac, began building their basic packaging and dimensions for their 1958 General Motors "A" body in June. The first styling sketch that will directly affect the Chevrolet car was seen by General Motors Styling vice president Harley Earl in October. Seven months later, the basic design was developed.

First generation (1958)
For 1958, GM promoted their fiftieth production year, and introduced a birthday model for each brand; Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Chevrolet. The 1958 model shares a common appearance on the top model for each brand; Cadillac Eldorado Seville, Buick Roadmaster Riviera, Oldsmobile Holiday 88, Pontiac Bonneville Catalina, and Chevrolet Bel-Air Impala.
Impala was introduced for the 1958 model as the top of the Bel Air line of hardtops and convertibles. From the windshield pillar, the Bel Hel Impala 1958 differs structurally from the Chevrolet model at a lower price. The hardtop has a slightly shorter greenhouse and a longer rear deck. Impala's wheelbase is longer than the lower price model, although its overall length is identical. The interior has two-finger steering wheels and colored door panels with aluminum trim. No other series including convertible.
The 1958 Chevrolet model is longer, lower, and wider than its predecessor. The 1958 model was the first with dual headlights. The tailfins of 1957 were replaced by a highly sculpted rear fender. Impalas has three taillights on each side, while the smaller model has only two carriages. The Impalas include the cross-sectional emblem on top of the side mold, as well as bright rocker prints and fake rear spoon scoops.
Standard perimeter frame types are abandoned, replaced by units with rails arranged in elongated "X". Chevrolet claims that the new frame offers increased torsional rigidity and allows lower placement of the passenger compartment. This is a transition step between traditional construction and a fully unified body/chassis, reinforced body structures in rocker panels and firewalls. However, these frames are not effective in protecting interior structures in side impact collisions, as traditional perimeter frames.
The coil spring suspension replaced the spring leaf springs last year, and the air rising system is optional. The 283 cu di (4,640 cc) engine is the V8 standard, with ratings ranging from 185 to 290 horsepower. Block "W" (not to be confused with big-block) 348 cu at (5.700Ã, cc) Turbo-Thrust V8 is optional, producing 250 hp (190 kW), 280 hp (210 kW), or 315 hp (235 kW ). Ramjet fuel injection is available as an option for the Turbo-Fire 283 V8, which was unpopular in 1958.
A total of 55,989 Impala convertibles and 125,480 coupes built representing 15% of Chevrolet production. 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air Impala helps Chevrolet regain the number one production spot in this year's recession.
1959 The redesigned Chevrolet Impala. Sharing bodyshells with Buick and lower class Oldsmobiles as well as with Pontiac, part of GM's economic movement, the Chevrolet wheelbase is 1-1/2Ã, inch longer. Using the new X-frame chassis, the roofline is three inches lower, the body is two inches wider, and the pavement weight is increasing. Its tail protrudes, not upward. The rear light is a great "teardrop" design on each side, and two non-functional front air intakes are added above the grille,
The Impala becomes a separate series, adding a four-door hardtop and a four-door sedan, to a two-door Sport Coupe and can be converted. Sport Coupes features a short roofline and wrapped back windows. The standard engine is I6, while the base V8 is a 283 cu carryover at (4.6 L), at 185 hp (138 kW). Optional is 283 cuÃ, in with 290 hp (220 kW) and 348 cu at (5.7Ã, L) V8 up to 335 hp (250 kW). Standards are front and rear armrests, electric clocks, double sliding sun shields, and crank operated front vents. A contoured contoured instrument panel holds a very deep gauge. A six-way power seat is a new option, such as "Speedminder", for the driver to adjust the needle at a certain speed and buzzer will be heard if pre-set is exceeded.
The 1960 Impala model returns three backlashes on each side, and a white band runs along the rear fender.
The available V8 is reduced to seven, at 283-cu in or 348-cuÃ, in displacement. The 283 cu Turbo-Fire carburetor in the V8 can have 170 or 230 hp (130 or 170 kW).

Fuel injection is no longer an option on full size Chevrolet. New to list options are speed and cruise control.
Production is 490,000 units.
The right-hand car is made in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, for New Zealand, Australia and South Africa and is assembled locally from CKD or SKD kits. The right-hand drive dashboard is a mirror image of the 1959 Chevrolet panel and is shared with the right-sided model of the right Pontiac drive. The Australian model is assembled by hand on the Holden GMH assembly line.
Third generation (1961-1964)
1961
The Impala was restyled on the GM B platform for the first time in 1961. The new body arrangement was slimmer and boxed than the 1958-1960 model. The Sport Coupe model featured a "bubbleback" roof line style for 1961, and a unique model, a 2-door pillared sedan, available only for 1961. It was rarely booked.

The 283 series is also enlarged to 327 cubic inches (5.4 L), offered in two versions, one with 250 brake horsepower and another with 300 brake horsepower, which adds more machine options to small block enthusiasts. The Beach Boys produced a hit single, "409," referring to Chevrolet, which became an iconic song for these cars. Impalas once again showcase premium interior promises, plus seats can be made by the dealer at customer's request. And the chrome is slimmer on the outside, including a full-width aluminum-and-chrome panel for a three-unit rear light assembly house. The Super Sport (SS) model displays the panel in a special engine converted into aluminum, which is also used to fill side molds, making the SS more special in appearance. Impala also get the body design of the station wagon top, as a replacement model Chevrolet Nomad. Due to reliability issues, the optional automatic Turboglide transmission is stopped, leaving Powerglide the only automatic transmission available until 1965. A new radio is optional.
1963
The Impala 1963 features a rectilinear style with a rear rear panel aluminum engine rear panel surrounded by a chrome border on the SS model. Engine options are similar to 1962, with the smallest 283-and-327-cubic-inch blocks (4.6 and 5.4 L) the most popular V8. The Sport Sedan features a crumpled new roofline. The new instrument panel is "coved" with simple indicator lights for hot and cold engine conditions. An optional factory tachometer built into the dashboard, just above the wheel; it's rarely booked.
The special version of 427-cubic inches (7.0 L) of 409 engines is used on the 1963 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe, ordered under the Regular Production Options of Chevrolet (RPO) Z11. This is a special package made for drag racers, as well as NASCAR, and it consists of a 427 cubic inch machine with aluminum body parts, and a cowl induction air intake system. The aluminum body parts are made in Flint, Michigan at a facility now known as GM's Flint Metal Center. Unlike the others, the second generation 427, it is based on a 409 W-series engine, but with a stroke of 3.65 is longer (93 mm). A high intake, two-piece aluminum intake manifold and carburetor Carter AFB were given a compression ratio of 13.5: 1 to produce 430 hp (320 kW) and 575 lbÃ, Â · ft (780 Nm). 50 RPO Z11 cars are manufactured at the GM Flint plant.
1964
For the year 1964, Impala restyled with a more rounded and softer appearance. The rear taillight rear assembly has an "inverted" U-shaped aluminum strip strip above the taillights, but individual lights are surrounded by colored panels. The 409-cubic inches (6.7Ã, L) returns as a big-block option, as well as 2X4 carburetor settings for a 425 horsepower engine. The SS model continues to display the modified aluminum trim of the machine. Rooflines brought from 1963 unchanged. The back-up lamp is standard.
Right-hand drive cars are made at the Oshawa plant in Canada and are often shipped overseas in the form of kits to be assembled in South Africa and New Zealand. RHD Car - Chevrolet or Pontiac equivalent (built on a Chevrolet frame and using a Chevrolet engine in Canada) - all using the right-hand drive version of the 1961 left-hand drive dash.
Fourth generation (1965-1970)
Redesigned in 1965, Impala set an all-time annual industry sales record of more than 1 million units in the United States. All new full-size Chevrolets avoid the "X" frame for the full width of the perimeter frame, a new body featuring curved sidewalls (for a pillarless model), sharper corner glass with newly re-shaped ventilation windows, and full coil redesigned. suspension.
In 1965, Chevrolet introduced Impala Caprice, exclusively as a four-door hardtop. Caprices received tufted upholstery, wood-grained accents on the dashboard, and a special pull on the inside of the door. This "hello" model also features a spinner wheel cover of the SS Impala, with "SS" centers replaced by the Chevrolet "bowtie" emblem. The rear-black Super Back rear strip behind the three rear lights is also used, with the "Impala SS" emblem replaced with a large "Caprice by Chevrolet" badge. The Custom Caprice was reintroduced as Chevrolet Caprice in 1966, taking the top spot in the full-size Chevrolet lineup.
Engine options include inline six cylinders as well as small blocks and large V8 blocks. The three-range Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission is optional for 396 cuÃ, at (6.5 A L) V8. The old 409 cu engine at (6.7Ã, L) "W" was discontinued in early 1965, so the initial production of 1965 got 409, and 1/10 of 1% had a large block of 396 CIDs. Another built car then has 396 cuÃ, at (6.5Ã, Â ° C) as a big-block option. Two-speed powerglide, as well as 3-and-4-speed manual transmission is available. As in previous years, Impalas features more chrome tiles inside and out, with tufty linings and tufted doors. Impala will become the number 2 convertible in the US in 1966, with 38,000 sold; it was beaten by Mustang by almost 2: 1. 1966 saw a pair of enlarged big-V8 blocks showing 427 cuÃ, at (7.0 L). The L36 RPO is rated at 385 horsepower, L72 at 425. The L72 is only available with a manual transmission.
The 1967 model was redesigned with an improved Coke bottle styling featuring the front and rear fender corvettes. The most prominent curve with the 1967-1968 model. In accordance with federal regulations, safety features were built into the Impalas during 1967 and 1968 year models, including fully absorbing steering columns, side marker lights, and shoulder belts for closed models. The L72 engine was not available in 1967, but the L36 Turbo-Jet V8 is optional.
The 1968 model is a facelift with a new front end. The new rear bumper has three taillights "horseshoe". 1968 also saw the new Impala model, Custom Coupe. This two-door hardtop features the same formal roofline as the Caprice Coupe. It worked and will continue until 1976. The L72 "427 Turbo-Jet" machine once again returns to the list of options, the 425 horsepower V8 solid-lifter rated. It will continue to be available for 1968 and 1969, replaced by Turbo-Jet 454 for the 1970s.
The 1969 Impala and the other full-sized Chevrolet got new bodies from the side of the slab with a small "upsweep" in the rear quarter window, giving them a more formal appearance. It maintains a 119-inch wheelbase from previous models. New front bumper wrapped around the grille and horizontal rear lights are in the rear bumper. The Hardtop Sport Coupe earned a new notchback roof line, replacing the "fastback" C pillar from 1967 to 1968. The front window without ventilation was used on all models. Chevrolet has an unfinished "air vents" system that features ventilation in the instrument panel. The ignition switch is moved from the instrument panel to the steering column, and when the lock has been removed, the steering wheel and shift lever are locked.
The 1969 model of Impala production surpassed Caprice's production of 611,000 units. The Impala train station was named Kingswood, a name that would continue until 1972. The same 1970 impala received a minor facelift featuring a more conventional bumper grille bottom replacing the wrapping unit used in 1969 along with a new three vertical rear light in the rear bumper.. Canadian buyers get a lower priced companion option for Impala Sport Coupe, Bel Air Sport Coupe, which uses the same body but featuring Bel Air trim.
Export
Right-handed cars were produced in Canada for export to countries such as Australia, New Zealand, the UK, etc., until 1969. They used dashboard versions of dashboards 1965 - no provision for radio and installed in dashboard molding made of fiberglass instead of metal - until 1969. Radio (centralized) and locally sourced heaters and wipers parked in the center of the windshield. Australian models are collected in Australia from kits, as this reduces the tax on cars. Australian cars have locally sourced amber indicators replacing clear reversing lenses, as red flashers are banned there. For New Zealand assembly, the corpses were supplied from Canada that had been welded, painted and trimmed.
Impala SS (1961-1969)
In 1961, Impala SS (Super Sport) was introduced to the market. The SS badge is Chevrolet's signature to performance on many models, although it is often just an appearance package. The SS factory package of Impala in 1961 was truly a performance package when equipped with a trim and "mandatory" factory suspension and engine upgrades, starting with 348 cu at (5.7Ã,L) V8 engine available with 305Ã, hp (227Ã, kW; 309 PS), 340 hp (254 kW; 345 PS), and 350 hp (261 kW; 355 PS) or new 409 cu at (6.7Ã, L) V8, available with up to 425 hp (317 kW); 431 PS). Unlike in other years, the 1961 Super Sport package is available on any Impala, including sedans and station wagons (sales brochures show 4-door Hardtop Sport with SS package). This package also includes upgraded tires on station wagon wheels, springs, shocks and special sintered metallic brake linings. Only 142 1961 Super Sports Impala comes from the factory with 409. In addition to factory-installed SS packages, Chevrolet dealers can add SS trims to the standard Impala without a "mandatory" performance improvement, and a full range of '61s.
Starting from the 1962 model, the SS Impala is a limited viewing package for hardtop coupes and convertible coupe models, available with all engines in the Impala series starting with 235 cu at 3.9 L, 135 hp (101 kW; 137 PS) inline- 6 until 1967, although big-block machines and heavy-duty components can still be ordered. From 1967 to 1969, an additional model, the SS427, was available.
Super Sport is known as the Regular Production Option (RPO) Z03, from 1962 to 1963, and again in 1968. From 1964 to 1967, the Super Sport was a separate model, with its own VIN prefix (for V8 models, 168 versus 164 for regular Impala). Super Sports from 1962 to 1964 came with an altered aluminum trim machine, which was replaced by a "blackout" lane in 1965 that ran beneath the rear lights. 1965 Super Sport exterior only slightly different from the usual Impalas. Trim rocker panels have been removed. The "Super Sport" script replaces the "Impala" fender badge. The new center console saves a rally-type electric clock, and full instrumentation now includes a vacuum gauge. A total of 243,114 Impala SS coupes and convertibles were built for 1965.
The 1966 SS Impala facelifted with a revised grille and new rectangular rear lights that replaced triple round units. A chrome beltline line shared with Impalas was usually added in response to a complaint about the clean 1965 door slamming. Inside is a new front seat "Strato-bucket" with a backrest thin and tall, and the center console with optional measuring package available. Sales of the 1966 SS Impala fell by more than 50% to about 117,000 units; This is mainly due to the sports car market/performance switch from full-sized models to intermediates (including Chevrolet own Chevelle SS396 and Pontiac GTO), along with a growing market for the smaller horse car market made by Ford Mustang in 1964 Chevrolet will respond with the Camaro for 1967.
The 1967 Impala SS is less adorned than other Impalas; Super Sports has black grille accents and a black fender body and accented rear fenders. Smaller models tend to brighten inside and out. Buyers can choose vinyl bucket seats with center console, or Strato-Bench seats with folding center folders. The standard wheel cover is the same as the optional full cover on the other big Chevrolets, but the center features an "SS" logo surrounded by three red, white and blue rings. "Chevrolet" and "Impala" description on the body are all replaced by the "Impala SS" badge. Of the 76,055 Impala SS models built, only 2,124 are ordered with RPO Z24, a special performance package that includes RPO F41 heavy duty suspension and other performance features, L36 RPO (385 hp (287 kW, 390 PS)) Turbo-Jet 427 cuÃ, in (7.0Ã, L) V8, as well as a special trim package that replaces the "Impala SS" badge with a large "SS427" emblem on the front grille and rear trim. None of these cars have the name "Impala" anywhere in the body or interior, and Chevrolet often markets them as "Chevrolet SS427," sans the name "Impala". The Z24 package also includes a special hood with fake chrome-plated intake. Only about 400 Super Sports had six-cylinder engines from 1967 to 1968, 390 hp (291 kW; 395 PS) in 1969, or L72 (425 hp (317 kW; 431 PS)) from 1968 to 1969. SS427 special badging, inside and out, is the rule, but few are sold, as muscle car enthusiasts are looking for big middlemen, such as Chevelle SS396 and Plymouth Road Runner.
In 1968 when Caprice's sales increased, the people of the Impala Super Sport had decreased. Much of this sales decline is undoubtedly due to the availability of big-block machines in medium (and lighter) Chevelle, and even Novas can be specially ordered with 396 engines with the new body for 1968. No more separate series, Super Sport only option package $ 179 (Regular Z03 Production Choice) for two Impala and convertible coupes. Only 38,210 impalas are equipped, including 1,778 with the Z24 package, brought from 1967. In 1968 alone, the SS427 can be ordered without the SS Z03 package, meaning SS427 equipment but no bucket seats, SS door panels, or center console. Z03 Impala SS can be identified with the "Impala Super Sport" badge on the front grille, rear fender, and trunk lid. The Z24-optioned car includes the "SS427" emblem to replace the "Impala Super Sport" badge, special-coated "hood" hood, and three "gills" mounted on the front of the rear fenders of the wheels with either ÃÆ' la Corvette Stingray.
In 1969, the SS Impala was only available as Z24 (SS427), coming exclusively with 427 cuÃ, at (7.0 V) from 335 hp (250 kW, 340 PS), 390 hp (291 kW, 395 PS), or 425 hp (317 kW; 431 PS). This is the last year for Impala SS until 1994. Unlike the previous two years, in 1969 finally got the script "Impala" in the front fender and interior. The 1969 Impala SS does not have a different SS badge in the car except for the "SS" steering logo (again, no Z03 was offered that year). Like 1968, Z24 can be ordered on Impala convertible, Sport Coupe, or Custom Coupe. 1969 is the last year that the SS Impala is offered with the Z24 package, but the only year in which the front disc brakes and 15 inch wheels (380 mm) are standard; which makes SS427 1969 mechanically better than the previous version in standard form. Although sales of 1969 Z24-optioned Impalas increased to about 2,455 units from 1,778 Z03-optioned 1968 units, and large-engine V8 engines continued to be available, there would be no SS Impala for 1970. 427 was also replaced on the list of offer engines with the Turbo-Jet 454 produce 390 hp (291 kW; 395 PS)
GM Platform B 1965-1970 is the fourth best-selling car platform in history after Volkswagen Beetle, Ford Model T and Lada Riva.
Fifth generation (1971-1976)
Impala remains the best-selling Chevrolet model with the fifth generation. The high performance V8 block is still available in the form of Turbo-Jet 454, which produced 365 hp in 1971, but power declined over the course of the year. The redesigned B-body of 1971 will be the biggest car Chevrolet has ever offered. Hardtop Sport Coupe continues to be offered; it is a semi-fastback with a smooth tilt that is reminiscent of the 1961 "bubbletop" styling. The three-speed manual transmission remains standard at the start of the year, but in the spring of 1971 all the full-size GM cars equipped the V8 got Turbo Hydra-Matic as standard equipment. Interestingly, Powerglide is still available optionally for six-cylinder cars up to the 1973 model. In accordance with its large size, the new "B" Chevrolet is close to the Cadillac in luxury, styling, and driving features. Like all GM "power" cars, the Impala gets a new electric ventilation system that stays on when the ignition is turned on, and inserts both large vents in the instrument panel and the grille in the trunk. However, the system proved to be problematic and disliked by many buyers.
The 1972 model has an extended grille beneath the bumper. Powertrains consist of most of the V8 engines. 250 inline six is ​​still standard for the model Coupe and 4-door sports sedan; 350 2bbl V8 became the standard engine from 1973-1976, with 350 cubic inches (5.7Ã, L), 400 cubic inches (6.6Ã, L), 402 cubic inches (6.6Ã, L) (up to 72) or 454 cubic inches ( 7.4 Ã, L) is optional. The best-selling body style is the formal Root Coupe roof. Beginning in 1972, all engines were designed to run with unleaded gasoline. 1972 saw the last Impala convertible; sold 6,456 copies, placing fourth with just under 9 percent of the market, just behind the 6,508 Corvette, ahead of Mustang's 6401. The ventilation system is upgraded, and the exit vents are moved from the trunk lid to the door pillar.
1973 Chevrolet features a larger front bumper and jolts because of a new federal mandate that requires impact protection 5 miles per hour (8.0 km/h). New rear lights are installed in the conventional (still) rear bumper. The convertible moved into the upper class to the Caprice Classic series. Tweaks to the suspension and frame provide better roadability, according to Chevrolet general manager John Z. DeLorean. Steering wheel and colorful instrument panel for interior color, compared to matte black color used in 1971-1972. The rim of the steering wheel feels soft, and replaces the "Impala" badge with the generic "Chevrolet". The inline six-cylinder engine is currently offered only on the 4-door Bel Air sedan, and only with a 3-speed manual transmission. The interior has repositioned the front seats for more legroom. Name Impala back for train station Kingswood. Suspension and chassis designs are modified for better roadworthiness.
1,000 1973 Impalas built with "Air Cushion Restraint System" (ACRS) which uses an oldmobile instrument panel and a unique steering wheel containing driver and front passenger air bags. They were all four-door sedans painted a special green-gold color. The system was not advertised on a large scale and many cars were used for collision trials by GM and the Federal government. For decades this system proved durable and successfully protected the front passengers in front-end collisions. Unfortunately Chevy did not offer ACRS in 1974; However it is offered in Oldsmobile and Cadillac models that year as an option and save lives. One Impala equipped with ACRS is preserved and remains a testament to the ability of American automakers to design life-saving safety systems into cars without a government mandate. There is no other example known today.
In 1974, the rear bumper was redesigned with shock absorbers to meet the improved standards and new tail lights displayed. The front end is also refreshed as in previous years, with new grille and front lamp bezel, new header panel, and bumper with the center of the drop down. The marker light moves back up beside the headlights again. This is the only year from 1971-1976 the Impala model has a different front end design from the Caprice Classic, like in other years using a lattice insert or the previous year's Caprice ahead to distinguish the two. Rooftop line Impala coupe also revised. For 1974, the Custom Coupe was no longer a hardtop, with large rear quarter glass and thick B pillar. The Sport Coupe, which is still a pillarless hardtop, now uses larger rolling quarter glass like the one in the 1971-1973 Custom Coupe, and has a narrower back window, faster rear. Sedan uses body shell from previous years.
The limited edition Spirit of America package was offered in 1974 with the Sport Coupe model; especially the appearance package, it features white or blue body paint, a full white vinyl top, white upholstery with red or blue trim, colored locking belts and floormats, special wheel cover, optional white alloy, dual-out outdoor rear-view rearview , vinyl side body mold inserts, and red pin-striping. Custom fenders and dash badges announce the package to passers-by and passengers. Chevrolet also offers the Nova and Vega Spirit of America versions.
The 1975 Impala used the front end of Caprice in 1974, with lattice inserts and symbols changing. The Caprice model was revised with a new front end with stylish header panels swept with main light buckets, new hoods, and new fenders. Also in 1975 coatings, door panels and dashboards were revised such as radio charts and climate control. The speedometer reads up to 100 miles per hour (160 km/h), and adds kilometers per hour. The High Energy Ignition System (HEI) was officially introduced in 1975, although it was installed on some 1974 cars as a clandestine option. The catalytic converters are also introduced, as are several new options, including the Econominder gauge package (which also includes a cooling temperature gauge), intermittent wiper, and 50/50 bench seats divided by passenger side seats (with a choice of sports or vinyl trim fabrics). This is the last year of the full-size Chevrolet convertible. The four-door model gets a new roofline; Hardtop Sport Sedan gets a small triangular "opera window" carved out of a wide roof panel.
The Landau model available for the 1975-1976 model features a vinyl landau roof (with chrome ribbon on the roof), special paint color options, sporty long distance double mirrors outside the rearview mirror, colored caliber wheel covers, inserted bodyside vinyl molds and pin- striping. Inside is a colorful seat belt and floormats. Fenders and dash emblems round up the package. The 2-door hardtop model (nicknamed "Sport Coupe") was discontinued after 1975, leaving a redesigned Custom Coupe, with a wide "B" pillar and fixed rear window, the only 2-door Impala available in 1976. This body style has been introduced to the 1974 model year, the predecessor to completely abandon the body style without a Detroit pillar before the end of the Seventy. 1976 Impalas used Caprice's nose the year before, with a new "eggplate" grille insertion. The Impala has a round headlamp while Caprice uses a new rectangular rectangle.

The sixth generation (1977-1985)
The changes in the auto market resulted in Chevrolet redesigning the Impala once again in 1976 to meet the changing demands. The smaller impalas are shorter in length, taller and narrower than before. The new Impala frame is a shortened version of that introduced in 1970 and will be used until 1996 when the B-body production line is closed. Even with the exterior dimensions of the trimmer, the new Impala features increased headroom, rear legroom, and luggage space. The production of a downsized model increased substantially during 1976, and Impala regained its number one sales position in the US. The redesigned Impala/Caprice 1977 is named after this year's
The pillar of the hardtops is stopped, the result of federal rollover standards looming in the near future. The 1977-1979 coupes sported double bending angry rear windows similar to the Monte Carlo Aerocoupe 1987 Chevrolet. In 1980, all new metal sheets were used, although the body style remained the same.
The availability of engines decreased for 1977; inline-6 ​​â € <â € Impala and upscale Caprice sold well into the early 1980s. The Impala was reduced to a full-size Chevrolet base model and was popular with fleet use - including taxis and police chase vehicles, but was discontinued in 1985, while Caprice continued unchanged until 1990. After the Impala collapse, Chevrolet full-size model bases re-branded Caprice beginning the year 1986, with a top model called Caprice Classic and Caprice Classic Brougham.
Seventh_generation_ (Impala_SS, _1994-1996) "> Seventh Generation (Impala SS, 1994-1996)
In January 1990, the GM B platform was redesigned for the 1991 model, although maintaining the same shortened frame design from the 1977 model redesign. The SS Impression Badge was raised at the 1992 Detroit Auto Show as a concept car designed by GM designer Jon Moss. The concept car was two inches lower to the ground than the regular Caprice, and powered by an 8.2 liter engine (500 cuÃ, in). Finally, the concept car engine was replaced with a 5.7 liter engine (350 Â ° c) coming from the Corvette.
1994 Impala SS began production on February 14, 1994, at the GM plant in Arlington, Texas, and almost cosmetically identical with the concept car; the only visible changes are the bowtie chrome logo on the grill (compared to the red logo on the concept). Basically, the car is a high-performance version of Caprice. He used the Caprice 9C1 police package as his base and thus gained most of the equipment previously available only to law enforcement and government agencies. These include sport-tuned suspensions with reinforced shocks and springs, high-capacity backflow cooling systems (derived from LT1 Corvette), four-wheel disc brakes, transmission cooling, dual exhaust, higher electrical systems, and other minor mechanical changes. Impala SS does not get oil oil from outside to the air, nor are all mounts secured (Caprice and Impala SS standards are assembled in the factory with three front mounts missing one of the rubber pads, while 9C1 is assembled with all rubber pads in place).
The SS impala is equipped with standard 3.08 equipment. The limited rear slip differential is standard (compared to G80 option on Caprices) and one inch lower suspension. A small 5.7 liter (350 Â ° cu) small 5.7 liter V8 block is standard on the SS Impala, making 260 hp (194 kW, 264 PS) and 330 lb ft (447 N m) of torque (retuned from prototype 300Ã, hp ( 224Ã, kW; 304Ã, PS) rating). The main difference between the LT1 on Impala and LT1 in the Corvette and Camaro is that the Impala engine is fitted with an aluminum cylinder head instead of an aluminum one, and the camshaft is designed more for low-end torque than high-end horsepower. Another difference is that the casting block for Impala LT1 has two main pads with bolts while the casting used for Corvette LT1 has four main bearing bolts. The transmission is 4L60E, which is an electronically controlled version of the previously controlled 4L60 hydraulically. However, the transmission is not upgraded for LT1 power, and transmission failure after 100,000 miles (160,000 km) is commonplace.
The SS impala receives colorful trims, a unique single-bar grille with no hood ornaments, and a rear deck spoiler. It is equipped with 17-inch aluminum wheels (430 mm) with 255/50ZR17 Z-rated all-season tires. Inside, the car came with a central console with cup holders (1994 and 1995 models) and storage compartments, embroidered leather seats with the SS Impala logo, and a standard leather steering wheel. For the 1994 model year, it was only available in black with gray interior. Due to the lack of a unique five-spoke aluminum wheel, only 6,303 cars were sold. However, the wheel shortage was fixed for the 1995 model and 21,434 cars were sold.
In 1995, Dark Cherry Metallic and Dark Gray Green were added as an exterior color option, and the body panels on the rear quarter panel were changed to reflect the cosmetic effect previously achieved by window inserts. Another change from 1994 was the placement of a side mirror from a pod attached to the door to a larger format attached to the 'A' pillar. 1996 was the last year of production with 41,941 units sold. 1996 SS Impala is also exported to the Middle East because Caprice SS is with a car identical to its American counterpart except for side fonts on the rear quarter panels and a badge on the dashboard saying Caprice SS . Production of SS Impala in 1996 was late into the model year; which was last produced on December 13, 1996. It saw a small interior change, with a digital speedometer replaced by analog ones, along with a tachometer. Shifters are moved from column to center console, and machine is given OBD-II computer control system (camshaft reset to adjust for new computer).

Termination
The entire B-body line, consisting of Chevrolet Caprice, Impala SS, and Buick Roadmaster, has been discontinued, as GM wants more assembly lines to be able to produce more profitable SUVs. The ceremony was held at the factory on December 13, 1996, when the SS Impala was last produced.
Eighth generation (2000-2005)
Impala's name was revived for 2000 model as "Hi-Mid" program to rename Lumina As The Chevy Impala. Based on Lumina's W-body platform, it was built at the Oshawa Car Conference in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Unlike the previous Impala built on the B-body, this one is a front-wheel drive and is available with a choice of two engines, the ever-extending 3.8L V6 engine, and a slightly smaller 3.4L V6 engine. A new SS Impala with supercharged V6 was taken out for the 2004 model.
Impala is available in two trim levels from 2000 to 2003. The basic model is equipped with a bench seat, steel wheel, 180 horsepower (130 kW) 3.4 liter (204 cu in) LA1 V6, and a 3- gauge. The LS comes equipped with an upgraded leather bucket fabric with a center console and floor shift, colorful "Impala" door scripts and baggage badges, anti-lock brakes, traction control systems , remote without key entry, integrated foglamps, upgraded aluminum wheels, rear spoiler (optional on base model), 4-gauge instrument cluster, and 200 horsepower (150 kW) 3.8 liters larger (231 cu in) L36 V6. Options available on all models include sunroof, OnStar system, Driver Information Center with internal HomeLink system, heated front seats, and SS-inspired wheels of the 16s and 1990s. All models are equipped with power windows, door locks and mirrors. Rear spoiler is an option on the base model, and can be removed from the LS model upon buyer's request. For the first time since 1959, Chevrolet offers an Impala that does not have or mimic the features of the three model signature rear lights.
2004 to 2005 Impala SS equipped with 3.8 liter engine (231 cu in) supercharged L67 V6. It was rated at 240 horsepower (180 kW) and was previously used in the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Buick Regal GS , Buick Riviera, and H-body Pontiac Bonneville SSEI and Buick Park Avenue "Ultra". The lighter front-wheel drive sedan is really as fast as the 1990 SS Impala, with a 0-60 mph time (0-97 km/h) driving 6.5 seconds, compared to the previous model time also showing 6.5 second (average 7.1 seconds). To commemorate Chevrolet's long relationship with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500 race, the limited edition (4,088 produced) Impala Indy SS was offered in 2004, featuring a black grille with a gold Chevrolet bowtie emblem that will be brought to all Impala models in 2005, on exterior and interior, 17 inch chrome wheels, cluster gauge packs, and more.
Impala 9C1 and 9C3
Also released with this version is the Police Package first released in 2000 and Undercover Police Packages was first released in 2001, named after 9C1 and 9C3 , respectively. Only available to law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and EMS agents, has been more successful than its predecessor, Lumina 9C3. 9C1 is a basic model with a stronger suspension and 3.8 liter engine (231 cu in) V6. It's only available in some basic colors. Another addition is the "SURV MODE" switch that replaces the fog light switch found on the LS. This allows the driver to turn off all the lights in the vehicle and "hide"; something not allowed with civilian models, such as automatic headlights are standard. The 9C3 is equipped for 9C1, but the ability to add other comfort options and more choice of paint and interior set 9C3 apart.

The ninth generation (2006-2016)
2006
Impala 2006 was introduced at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show in January. Like Buick LaCrosse, Impala's ninth generation uses the updated GM W platform. The base engine is a 3.5 V (214 cu in) V6 that produces 211 hp (157 kW) and 214 lb ft (290 m) of torque at 4000 rpm.

GM does not want to design a special radiator and cooling system to supplement the low-production V8 police vehicles. Also, heavy duty steel wheels are not redesigned, and thus, the Sedan Police uses genuine center caps or stylish wheel covers older than the 8th generation model. 9C1 and 9C3 are equipped with external trunk lock tumblers starting in 2008. No features are available for civil versions of cars. The 9C1 and 9C3 police models have standard wood grain for models from 2006 to 2007 replaced by aluminized interior trim.
