General Motors plans to ax the Chevrolet Impala as part of its dramatic restructuring announced this week, ginning up nostalgia for a vehicle name that first appeared in the 1950s.
The Impala has been called one of America's most iconic nameplates, but after 10 generations, the current sedan appears to share little but the name with its ancestors even as it has had some notable milestones in the not-too-distant past.
These days, the Impala appears to be a staple at the rental car counter and a long journey from the candy apple red 1963 Impala with 11.5 miles on the odometer that drove grown men to tears, as the Free Press reported, when it appeared this spring at Cobo Center as part of Autorama.
