Information
The Chevrolet Impala, a full-size car produced by Chevrolet, was made from 1958 to 1985, again between 1994 and 1996, and later from 2000 to 2020. It became Chevrolet’s flagship passenger car and was one of the best-selling American vehicles in the U.S.
Upon its debut in 1958, the Impala was easily recognizable thanks to its signature symmetrical triple taillights. In 1965, Chevrolet introduced the Caprice model as a premium version of the Impala Sport Sedan, which eventually became a standalone model in 1966, positioned above the Impala in the lineup. The Impala remained the best-selling full-size Chevrolet model well into the 1980s. In 1994-1996, the Impala was revamped as a 5.7L V8 version of the Chevrolet Caprice Classic sedan.
Fourth Generation (1965-1970)
In 1965, the Impala underwent a major redesign, helping it achieve a record-breaking sales year, surpassing 1 million units sold in the U.S. The new model replaced the “X” frame with a full-width perimeter frame and introduced a body with frameless side glass, a more angled windshield, and redesigned suspension.
That same year, Chevrolet launched the “Caprice” luxury package for the Impala four-door hardtop, coded RPO Z18. This package included tufted upholstery, wood grain dashboard accents, and specialty door pulls. The Caprice also featured the same spinner wheel covers as the Impala SS, but with a Chevrolet “bowtie” emblem instead of the “SS” logo. It also carried the Super Sport’s blackout trim and an upgraded “Caprice by Chevrolet” badge instead of the “Impala SS” emblem. The Caprice package was reintroduced as the Chevrolet Caprice Custom in 1966, becoming the top model in the full-size Chevrolet range.
