Very unique for the day was the new 1958 Impala’s six tail lights that really set it apart from the other models. The new Impala’s styling set a standard and trademark for Chevrolet.
In 1959 the Impala became a truly separate model with both 2 door and 4 door versions. The Impala starting in 1960 turned out to be the best-selling car in the good old USA.
The Impala held this title for the next ten years. The name for the 1958 Chevy first appeared on a show car used in 1956. It was a 1956 Corvette presented at the General Motors Motorama.
The Corvette sported an emerald green metallic paint, had white interior with a hardtop and called an Impala.

The Impala got its start back in 1958 and is still made to this very day. The Impala has always been a popular model for Chevrolet. The standard “X” frame on the Cadillac and other Chevy's was also used for the Impala.
The first big change to its styling came in 1961. The 1961 Sport Coupe were more trim than the 58 to 60 versions. With what was referred to as a “bubbleback” roofline the 61’ was unique.
So different it did not sell very well and not too many were ordered making it a very scarce collectible. Even more scarce was the Super Sport (SS) made its debut the first time in 1961.
In 1962 things got a little more interesting with Sport Coupe models came in a convertible. Engine choices also got exciting with the introduction of the famous 409 cubic-inch (6.7 L). This model made famous by the Beach Boys hit single “409”.
For the Impala model collector the selections are awesome. Model makers have been around making them since 1958 with all of the best manufactures producing the famous race cars and police car versions.
The most known police interceptor’s were the 2000 to 2005 a special police package.

1971 Chevy Monte Carlo The Best Year Order Today!
1970 saw the first Monte Carlo the brainchild of Elliot M Estes (Pete) the General Manager of Chevrolet at the time. Working with Chevrolet’s stylist Dave Holls borrowing from the Cadillac Eldorado and Chevrolet Chevelle, they produced the muscular looking Monte Carlo.
The 1971 model year very little styling changes inside, the SS model got new "European symbol knobs", and the four-spoke steering wheel became optional. Mechanically, it was unchanged, although the small-block Turbo-Fire 400 two-barrel engine was dropped.
The Cadillac egg-crate grille similar to the 1971 Chevrolet Caprice and a metal rear trim molding were the changes to the 1972 Monte Carlo, the final year for the first generation design.
To make use of GM’s new A-platform known as the G-body coming in at 118” on the Grand Prix instead of adding more passenger space for the Chevrolet model. A splice between the firewall and the front wheels was added to make the unique design of the Monte Carlo. This gave it the exceptionally long hood and the look proved to be very popular for Chevrolet.

Monte Carlo’s base power option included the 350 Turbo-Fire small block V8 rated at 250 hp with a 2 barrel carburetor. In this configuration it produced 345 foot pounds of torque at 2800 rpm. Options that were standard front disk brakes and higher grade nylon upholstery and a deep twist carpet. Everyone loved the fake wood trip that was a reproduction of the elm trim used on the Rolls Royce.
With all the options available at the time a fully equipped Monte Carlo could demand more than $5,000. The options consisted of the Powerglide automatic transmission (two-speed), turbo-hydramatic (three speed) or the four seed manual transmissions. Power seats 4 season air conditioning, Strato bucket seats, Rallye wheels and console.
There were a number of engine options available to power the Monte Carlo. The 350 upgrade included a four-barrel carburetor boosting it to 300 hp. There were two different 400 cubic inch engine options offered. A version of the Chevy small block with two barrel carburetor the referred to as the (turbo-fire) at 265 hp. The second referred to as the (turbo-jet) 400 was actually 402 cubic inch rated at 330 hp was a version of the big block 396 with a larger displacement.
The Monte Carlo SS 454 was the most powerful engine option and was only an extra $420 came in at 360 hp with 500 foot pounds of torque. The (turbo-jet 454) coming in at 7.4 L with a 4 barrel carburetor was quite a fast car. Other options included in the package was the “SS 454” badge, heavy duty suspension, wider tires and turbo hydramatic transmission with 3.31 rear gear plus automatic load leveling suspension in the rear.
The first generation design running only 3 years makes this a great model to collect.

Model Chevrolet Caprice
The Chevrolet Caprice started back in mid-1965. It was introduced as a luxury trim package for the Impala four-door hardtop sedan.
1993 Chevy Caprice Fire Chief Car!
This was Chevrolet’s response to the Ford LTD series luxury cars and not wanting to be over sold.
The Caprice came out with a stiffer suspension, higher-grade cloth and vinyl seats plus door trim (it also included thicker, higher-grade carpeting), walnut trim on the dashboard and door panels, pull straps on the doors, extra convenience lights, special full wheel covers and an optional vinyl top.
The Chevrolet Caprice got its name by Bob Lund (Chevrolet's General Sales Manager) after a classy restaurant he frequented in New York City.
Not agreed on, some say the Caprice was named after Caprice Chapman, daughter of auto executive and influential Indy-car official James P. Chapman.
The Caprice was introduced mid 1965 and was very well received during its first year in 1965. For 1966, the Caprice was expanded into a full top-line series.
This included a two-door hardtop, and a station wagon with simulated wood exterior trim - the first Chevy "woody" wagon since 1954.
All of the Chevrolet Caprice got a V8 engine was installed.
