Chevy Impala has been around seemingly forever. The market for such cars has changed.
I think I am going to buy a Hyundai Sonata, made right here in the United States.
This will be the third trip to the boneyard for the Impala.
It was made from 1958-1985 then discontinued.
Resurfaced from 1994-1996 then discontinued.
Resurfaced the third time in 2000.
Like a drowning man going down for the third time.
The new Impalas look like crap. If they built a 1960’s Impala people would run to buy them. Leg room, a good reliable engine, decent tail lights, head room, and a feel of safety in them.
I just wish I had my 57 Chevy again. Once had 8 girls and myself in it and was still able to drive in comfort and safety. Engine never needs any major maintenance (145 HP with overdrive, Chevy 210 - my mother’s but on weekend nights, it was mine).
I bought a new 2001 Impala 17 1/2 years ago. It now has 21,600 real miles. It has a beast of an engine and is comfortable.
I’m ready for a much shorter car, as I have a rear entry garage that requires a 90* turn to or from the driveway and I’m damned tired of wrestling that long car around the sharp turn without hitting the fence along the narrow driveway.
It’s about 21’ in length, but I’m looking for a car about 15’ long. ....Several out there, but they’re ugly!
I wish I still had my 73 Impala..that thing was built like a tank!
