1950s Chevy Impala

We go for a ride in a 1958 Chevy Impala and end up at Dell Rhea's Chicken Basket on old Route 66.

Ed Cole, Chevrolet's chief engineer in the late 1950s, defined the Impala as a "prestige car within the reach of the average American citizen." From 1958 until 1965, the Impala was Chevrolet's most expensive full-size car. In 1965, Chevrolet introduced the more-expensive Caprice. In the late sixties, the Impala was typically positioned just below the top luxury trim, the Caprice, and above the more economical models like the Biscayne or the Bel Air. The Impala, named for a southern African antelope, is most readily distinguished by having three pairs of taillights, where most contemporary cars have two. It competed in the market against other full-size cars such as the Ford Galaxie 500 and the Plymouth Fury.
