Introduced in 1958 as a top-of-the-line Bel Air model restricted to two-door body styles, the Impala developed into a full lineup in 1959. In the 1960s, it gained a Super Sport version, and it was part of two important events: Chevrolet's 50th anniversary and the company's 50 millionth vehicle. In 1962, Chevrolet offered a Golden Anniversary edition of the Impala to celebrate 50 years in the business.
