Chevrolet Impala 409 CID V8 1962
General description :
Our Detroit Showroom is proud to offer a rare 1962 Chevy Impala SS 409. The Impala was introduced by Chevrolet in 1958 as the top of the line in the Bel Air hardtop and convertible series. The wheelbase is 5 inches longer vs. lower priced models, although the overall length is identical. Significant redesigns in 1959 and 1961 saw the Impala become its own separate series. The 1962 model featured new “C” pillar styling with wraparound rear window. Engine choices were headlined by the massive 409cid V8 Rated at 409hp. The Beach Boys produced a hit single “409” referring to this Chevrolet. Super Sport (SS) models featured 409 power and additional trim details designed to stand out from the crowd. The beautiful Impala was once a newer frame-off restored car but has enjoyed lots of road life showing off its sleek body lines and unmistakable appearance. This Roman Red 1962 Impala SS includes 4 speed manual transmission with its original shift knob that is impossible to find. The engine compartment gleams and is host to a true QB 409 Dual Quad engine with 11:1 compression and a solid lifter cam. The interior of this show ready vehicle is done in red vinyl and the whole package is set off nicely with chrome bumpers and hyper chrome 18” American Racing wheels. Additional features include, power steering and AM/FM radio. This Roman red machine has new brakes including the master cylinder, new power steering, and a new wiper motor ensuring that it is ready to cruise and is located at our Detroit showroom.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
