The Chevrolet Impala is a full-size automobile built by the Chevrolet division of General Motors introduced for the 1958 model year. Deriving its name from the southern African antelope, Chevrolet's most expensive passenger model through 1965 had become the best-selling automobile in the United States, competing against the Ford Galaxie 500 and the Plymouth Fury when full-size models dominated the market. The Impala was distinguished for many years by its symmetrical triple taillights. The Impala was restyled on the GM B platform for the first time in 1961. The new body styling was more trim and boxy than the 1958-60 models. Sport Coupe models featured a "bubble top" roof line style for '61, and a unique model, the 2-door pillared sedan, was available for 1961 only. It was rarely ordered and a scarce collectible today. The rare Super Sport (SS) option debuted for 1961. This was also the last year the top station wagon model would bear the Nomad name. Power brakes were $43.MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present the clean and rarely seen 1961 Chevrolet Impala "Bubble Top" you see pictured.
