1961 Chevrolet Impala

 

Chevrolet unbelievingly has top-billed the sales in automobiles all over America. Too overwhelmed by the popularity, prestige, and success; Chevrolet Impala designers and engineers decided to fine tune their performance and luxurious image by offering a new package--the sports package in its Chevrolet Impala SS. Now, this is the year wherein a first true muscle car was introduced. In its intention of outperforming Ford's 390 cid engine, Chevrolet introduced its very own 409 cubic inch V8 which lasted number one till 1970s in the dragstrip.

The Super Sport package defined Chevy Impala's performance for a number of years. Chevy Impala SS boasts of a special body and fine interior trim, power steering, power brakes with metallic linings, full wheel covers with three blade spinner, passenger grab bar, a console for the floor shift, and a tachometer on the steering column. Amazing and cool features, aren't they? All of these are embodied in the 1961 Chevrolet Impala. A wise move for Chevrolet. Sure enough, it didn't satisfy itself with merely selling millions of Impalas. It proved itself as the creator of a performance car which is a sure winner in the race.
