Exterior

The third generation of the Chevrolet Impala officially began manufacturing in 1961, when it underwent another revitalization. The most notable change to Chevy's flagship full-size model was the availability of an SS variant.

Interior

As a full-size sedan, the third-generation Impala was still able to accommodate six adults—three on each of the two bench seats—inside. The interior was often two-toned, and the illustration features a white-red colour scheme.

Engine/Performance

The base engine was the 135-horsepower 3.9-liter inline-6 'Blue-Flame' engine with hydraulic valve lifters. The 4.6-liter V-8 engine produced 170 or 230 horsepower with a two- or four-barrel carburetor. Ultimately, the 5.7-liter V-8 produced 250–330 horsepower depending on carburetion and compression ratio.
