The Chevy Impala (1957-2020)

Its popularity remained throughout the 1960s. It spanned from this first generation into its final in 2020. Over nine generations of Impala were produced. Each varied a little in style and power to be in tune with the latest generation of speed fans. However, the more popular models – the true classic muscle cars, were from the late 1950s and through the 1960s.
