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.

The 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facts and figures and optional equipment, through detailed text, brochure and advertising images, along with previously unpublished photographs.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.

The 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.
