(Click this link to view the list) Yes, some supercars are all-out muscle cars—the Chevelle SS 396, Camaro SS, and post-1967 Nova SS come to mind. But, for most of its life, the Impala Super Sport wasn't a muscle car. One controversial exception was the introductory package that appeared in mid-1961, as the base engine was the big 348. Beginning in 1962, the Impala's supersport package of hardtops and convertibles evolved into sport buckets and console cars that captured…

Add a little festive flair to your day and a mint-colored Chevrolet. The Daily Pick is a 1958 Chevrolet Impala for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Wichita, Kansas. (Click the link to view the list) This Impala's two-tone red and white exterior is complemented by plenty of chrome and stainless steel accents, and the wheel and tire setup have been changed to five-spoke Cragars shod with Mastercraft Avenger G/T raised white lettering rubber. The dual exhaust system's outlets are located at either corner of the rear bumper, and there's plenty of aesthetic flair with dual antennas, triple taillights, and scooped-out quarter panels. Cars in the late 1950s were anything but boring. The Impala was first introduced in 1958 as the top-of-the-line Bel Air model and had a longer wheelbase than lower trims, although the overall length was the same. The car's design was drawn by Joe Shemanski. He began his career in the Detroit department store business,…
Big car: 1968 Chevrolet SS427
Chevrolet was In 1955, it began to be at the forefront of American high-performance cars. Starting in 1957, fuel injection gave the Chevrolet International style, and then the early adoption of a four-speed manual transmission (original in 1959 and installed earlier by factory-approved dealers) certainly couldn't hurt. The introduction of the 409 in 1961 was the icing on the cake, and the Beach Boys were the icing on the cake. But the Pontiac GTO ruined Chevrolet because now the world is a midsize performance car market. Chevrolet got off to a slow start, but the 1966 Chevrolet SS 396 was able to carry the torch in the bowtie show. Strangely enough, however, in 1967 Chevrolet decided to launch a dedicated full-size performance car called the SS427. The SS427 package is based on the Impala SS and includes features such as the 385-horsepower 427, a unique hood, and special badging. The special performance package continued into 1968, although the unique elements…
Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
if i watch onlineI noticed a lot of people praising the virtues of 1960s styling and design. While the decade was strong, I don't think it compares to the 1930s, which gave us several custom designs that led the way in automotive values (with the exception of a few race cars). Still, in my corrupt mind, the 1960s were strong not just in styling, but in the overall package. Typically this means performance, but it doesn't necessarily have to be. Do you think the AutoHunter picks below represent the highlights of the 1960s well? 1969 Pontiac GTO convertibleDo you prefer the 1968 one or the 1969 one? Curious to know! I'm indifferent to the taillights, although I think the 1968 grille might have had a slight edge (especially the exposed headlights). The '69's parking lights are better, but I prefer the '68's dash. Plus, the Hurst Dual/Gate was much cooler than what Pontiac was developing for '69. Regardless, this 1969…
AutoHunter Spotlight: 1962 Chevrolet Impala
If a photo is worth it A thousand words, is a video worth ten times that number? The quality of media a seller provides when listing a vehicle for sale can vary widely, which is important when buyers and sellers are often multiple states apart conducting unseen business. I highly recommend you put on a good pair of headphones and watch this driving demonstration video of this muscle machine: The 55,000-mile 1962 Chevrolet Impala hardtop featured on AutoHunter is being sold by a dealer in Ross, Ohio, and the auction ends Monday. The car sounds incredible when accelerating; the selling dealer demonstrated how the exhaust system can change intensity with the flip of a switch. This functionality is provided by a custom Flowmaster dual exhaust system with QTP electric switches. I call this aggressive setup "Beast Mode." The full-size Impala flagship model's origins date back to 1958. Its name originated from the African antelope and was first mentioned at the…
Pick of the Day: 1959 Fuel-Injected Chevrolet Impala
what is classic A 1950s Chevrolet? Most would say one of the Tri-Fives, the 1955 model is probably the purest version of the series, perhaps in Nomad form. Others may point out that the finny '57 has fuel injection and therefore should be a Top Dog. With that, I recommend our Daily Pick as the most classic bowtie of the 1950s, this 1959 Chevrolet Impala fuel-injected convertible. It is currently for sale on ClassicCars.com from a dealer in Chatsworth, California. (Click the link to view the list) Everyone knows the story of Chevrolet and Chrysler in the 1950s, but let's recap it to increase my word count: Chevrolet went from an obscure reputation in 1955 to something completely different. From a car for librarians to a performance brand, Chevrolet deserves the same praise, but a few years earlier. The 1955 Chevrolet embodied the best of Harley Earl's styling studio in America's popular low-price brand, combined with the fine engineering of…
