DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe American Dream - The Chevrolet Impala 1958-1971 examines the evolution of the popular Chevrolet Impala from the late 1950s stylish ‘specialty’ vehicle to become Chevrolet’s best-selling, iconic model in North America. In addition, this volume focuses on specifications, rarer performance models, industry facts and figures and optional equipment, through detailed text, brochure and advertising images, along with previously unpublished photographs. The important role played by the Impala for Chevrolet is also examined, as well as GM as a whole from its top-of-the-line, ‘specialty’ model status to its broad range of body styles and mainstream, volume production model status. As the 1950s ended, the Chevrolet Impala evolved into a status symbol, and added more and more style, comfort and optional equipment to its ever-increasing model range. From its similar styling and tri-colour pastel paint finishes the original Chevrolet Impala was the flashy, stylish sibling in the line-up, only to eventually return to a more conservative high-volume, mainstream car.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Impala started as a two-model variant of the Bel-Air range becoming a series of its own for 1959. Its success peaked in 1964 when 60% of all Chevrolets wore the Impala badge. The most interesting model came in mid-1961 with the SS, a muscle car that was affected by the emissions regulations of the late sixties which brought about its demise in 1972. From 1965 the Caprice became the top model in the range with the Impala name living on as just another full-size Chevy. This is a compilation of contemporary road tests, specification and performance data, owners' views, comparison tests, model introductions and background. Models covered include: 348, Police special, 409SS, 327SS, Station Wagon, 427SS, 307, 307 Convertible, 350, 454, CoupT.

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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe All-American Muscle Car provides the ultimate hands-on history of the American Muscle car and where it is now -- Mustangs, Camaros, 'Cudas, Challengers, you name it. When John Z. DeLorean and his cadre of enthusiastic rule benders took it upon themselves to bolt Pontiac's hottest engine into a mid-sized Tempest, disobeying orders from the top of General Motors food chain, they created something that should not have been, and will never be again: the muscle car. The resulting GTO spearheaded a new breed of performance car aimed at a new breed of buyer: the baby boom generation, tens of millions of young customers entering the market each year. The All-American Muscle Car: The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of Detroit's Greatest Performance Cars tells the story of these brutal performance machines through the words of muscle-car icons like Jim Wangers, the man who marketed DeLorean's thuggish invention, Joe Oldham, a legendary automotive journalist who tested these cars when they first came off the production line, often via illegal street racing, and classic-car broker Colin Comer, who has been instrumental in restoring some of the most iconic (and valuable) muscle cars. Top muscle car experts like Randy Leffingwell and David Newhardt tell other facets of the muscle-car story, like the pony-car wars between the Mustang, Camaro, 'Cuda, and Challenger; the ultra-high performance dealer specials; and the rebirth of the modern muscle car. All told, this book provides the ultimate hands-on history of these most American of cars.
