At first glance, the Impala looks like your standard sedan. But if you look closely, it has nice lines, fine details on the body design, and just everything that whispers muscle car.
Sure, it doesn't scream it like the old version does. But that's what makes it different, more appealing.
Hmmm. It might whisper at a muscle car, as the only thing it appears to be designed for is to replace some Buick Electra type model. Tired, old, and unappealing is about the best I can come up with for a description of the Impala.
There is nothing written that says a contemporary design has to look boring.
Someone else mentioned it, and I have to agree. 1969 was the epitome of automotive design for the American automobile manufacturer. One of the things that made them great was being able to tell what car it was from 100 yards away, when the engine was not running, and about a 1/4 mile away when the engines were running.
There are also some very classic designs from about 1965 to 1969 that have never been matched in appeal.
I'll never forget the sound of the Chrysler big blocks or the Chevy and Ford small blocks. Days we will never see again. I am glad I got to live through them and feel sorry for those who did not. It was truly a magnificient age for the gear head.
