The 3rd generation Chevrolet Impala (1961-1964) is like a fine wine—it only gets better with age! Launched with a sleek, new body on the GM “B” platform, it introduced a two-door sedan in ’61 that’s now a collector’s dream. The ’62 model year boasted a snazzy “C” pillar and a new 409 V8 engine, which even got the Beach Boys singing. By ’64, the Impala was smoother with muscle car fans rejoicing the return of the 409 engine, this time with two four-barrel carburetors for a whopping 425 hp.
