Chevrolet Impala-the SS generations to be cont…

by Ross Mills

Chevrolet Impala SS, the epitome of performance from 1961 to 1969, started as a humble trim option but evolved into a symbol of Chevy’s prowess. With engines ranging from a modest 250 cu in six-cylinder to a mighty 409 cu in V8, it offered muscle enthusiasts a buffet of horsepower. The 1965 model even ditched “idiot lights” for full instrument clusters, proving it’s smarter than your average car! By 1966, Chevy added side chrome trim to combat “door dings,” because who needs battle scars, right?

Dead: Chevrolet SS

by Kiril

Chevrolet SS, the car everyone loved but nobody bought, is officially hitting the brakes after 2017. General Motors North America President Alan Batey announced this sad news at the Detroit Auto Show, leaving car enthusiasts shaking their heads in disbelief. The SS, with its roots in Australia, will cease production as GM wraps up its operations down under. It seems the SS was the wallflower of the automotive prom—underrated, unnoticed, and now, unfortunately, unavailable.

In the late 60s, Chevrolet decided the Chevelle needed a makeover – and boy, did it get one! Shrinking the wheelbase like it was going on a diet, the 1968 Chevelle strutted in with a long hood and a trunk that played hard to get. Meanwhile, the SS 396 and luxury Concours models flaunted hidden wipers like they were hiding a juicy secret. By 1970, the Chevelle was squared up and ready to party with a new 454 engine. It was like the Chevelle was saying, “Who needs subtlety when you can have horsepower?”
