Chevrolet Impala – Full-Size Style

Like most cars from the 1970s, the Chevrolet Impala grew in size. The sedan was much larger than previous generations and the V8 engine under the hood grew as well. This was the generation of the Impala that showcased what GM engineers were capable of. Every inch of the car was brand-new for the decade, with a beautiful new design on the inside and outside. Gone were the curvatures of the ’60s, and a new car ready to take the throne (via Muscle Car Facts).

People who remember this era fondly will remember how influential the Impala was to America. The Impala is a legend because it revolutionized family transportation. This is the car that families pass down to each other. The Impala also became legendary in the lowrider circuit, which is partly why the resale value of the car is so expensive. Nevertheless, very few cars cruise quite like the Impala does.
