61 Years with a 1962 Chevy Impala: A Veteran's Story | 1962 Chevrolet Impala | Original Owner
Join us as we dive into the incredible story of Bill Robinson, an 82-year-old Vietnam War Veteran who has cherished his 1962 Chevrolet Impala for 61 years. In this video, Bill recounts his adventurous journey with his friend Roger, hitchhiking from Seattle to Dallas and then taking a bus to Naples, TX, where he first laid eyes on the stunning red Impala.
Despite a modest Navy salary, Bill managed to finance the car and made countless memories along the way, including taking his future wife on their first date in it. Now, after 59 years of marriage, Bill and his beloved Impala are regulars at local car shows across Texas, where he proudly shares his remarkable story.

    That's an awesome Car, I bought a '64 SS from the Original Owner back in '82, he didn't like the '64 Red so he had it painted '62 Fire Engine Red just like this right after he bought it, mine had White interior, unfortunately my Ex Wife hounded me daily about that Car so I finally sold it, I wished I just would have divorced her first and I'd still have the Car.

    Ford galaxy IS NOT the dawn of American muscle. That honor goes to the 1964 Pontiac GTO. Pretty much every Car magazine ever has accredited the GTO for being the first muscle car.
