This was the first of a long-running Chevy nameplate. It all started as a full-sized hard-top sport coupe with a 283 cubic inch V-8.
According to Wikipedia, the Impala competed against the Ford Galaxy 500 and Plymouth Fury. Chevy's lead engineer during the era, Ed Cole, once described the Impala as "prestige car within the reach of the average American citizen." This M2 Machines 1:64-scale Auto Drivers series Impala looks pretty classy to me.
