History of the 1963 Impala

The Chevrolet Impala is a full-size sedan built by the Chevrolet division of General Motors introduced for the 1958 model year. Deriving its name from the South 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.

Among collectors, the 1963 Impala is the most popular for its body style, though it was mechanically almost identical to the 1962 model. The 1963 Impala's distinctive body style had crisp lines with pointed front and rear fenders that emphasized the long, low style of car design popular in the early 1960s.
