The Impala is not only one of Chevrolet's most historic vehicles, but one of America's, as well. For decades, it set the standard in comfort and value, and was even considered to stem the American muscle car. First debuting in the 1958 model year, the Impala began as a high-end Bel Air. It's success as a long, wide, and luxurious family sedan forced Chevy to separate it into its own model, creating what was soon to be America's best-selling full-size car.
