My family briefly owned a '67 Impala SS. Special ordered, buyer backed out and our dad bought it for a song. The 8 track demo tape with Lorne Greene audio still resonates with me today!
This was back when all the neighbors came out to look at and congratulate you on your new car. Back when neighbors knew each others' names and actually spoke to one another.
My dad bought a brand new 1969 Buick Electra 225. When we got home all the neighbors came out. A little 2 year old kid walked up with a chain and wham right on the trunk. Those were the days alright LOL
Yes bring back all the big beautiful American cars with a V-8 engines and put the speed limit on all the highways at 78 miles an hour let’s do it right if you’re going to do it. There was never any cash shortages it was all made up by the stupid US government all they do is wreck everything to make things worse for everybody
I remember growing up the neighbor across the street had one of these. Looked exactly like it, only he had the rally wheels (one of GM's best styling features of that era in my opinion) vs. the full wheel covers on this one. His wife had a 59 Impala (I think it became her car after they bought the 67) and she later replaced that for a 70 Malibu and a few years after that he moved up to a Cadillac Coupe de Ville. That was the way the GM marketing plan was supposed to work that you started with Chevy and moved up the brand hierarchy.
My Dad had the 1967 bel air station wagon, when all the seats were folded down me and my brother would wrestling all over the back of that car!! What fun, what a great car!!!
I was 16 at the time and these were the driver training cars being used that year. Too bad my dad got transferred to Europe before I had my chance to do the driving part of drivers training. Beautiful cars.
1967 Impala/ Caprices were always beautiful with their "coke bottle" styling, round gauges and good looks. It's a shame that some people are downgrading the much nicer Caprice, into a lowly Impala, just for the sake of a tv show. The Carpice is a much nicer car than the Impala, that's why they cost more back in the day. 40 years, or a tv show can never change that fact.
Whats so much better about the Caprice compared to the Impala? They look the same except for a few small things like the side trim and bumper, and not to mention that ugly wood dash compared to the Impala's brushed metal one.
Walnut trim is a plus, not a minus. Even in the Mopar world more expensive GTX's had wood trim, while the Road Runner didn't. The lowly Impala could be had with a six banger, while EVERY Caprice was a v8, and EVERY Caprice was the Pillarless hardtop style. The carpets, the seat fabrics, and everything about the Caprice was up-scale. Corner Lamps, triple red taililights while the Back up lamps were cut into the bumpers. Just imagine how much it cost GM just to do the exclusive rear Caprice bumpers. The side trim on the Impala is way too high, and sticks out very clunky. The Caprice trim is much lower (where it should be), and much classier thinner blade. The Base Caprice cost almost 500 dollars more than the Impala and buyer's got a lot for their money. The Caprice coupe had it's own special formal roofline, and the C pillars were very similar to the 70 Chevelle, but the Caprice coupe had it first 4 years earlier.
Yeah, that is right, it is Ketchum. I had the same problem remembering him as I did with another commercial, that I posted for Ken L Ration. I couldn't think of the actor's name, and it finally came to me several weeks later. Fred Clark (played the next door neighbor on the George Burns & Gracie Allen TV show) did the commercial with a pet lion who thought it was a dog, and loved Ken L Ration.
I had a 67 Impala SS Fastback like shown in this video. Mine was gold in color, had a 396, turbo 400, bucket seats, console, AC, very nice. A 98 year old lady (born in the 1880's) ran a stop sign because she left her glasses at home sitting on the dinning room table. She pulled out in front of me so I swerved clear over to the other side of the 4 lane road to keep from broad siding her and possibly killing her. She ended up broad siding me on the passenger side rear quarter and spun me around. Frame, body, too far gone to even try to rebuild. That happened in the early 1980's. I had planned to keep it for many years because even back then I knew it would be a classic someday. Guess the devil had other plans.
This car was NEVER marketed as an "Impala Sports Coupe." The name "Sports Coupe" was used by Ford for their sporty Fairlane, then Falcon, in the 1960s. Chevy called their non-SS hardtops Sport Coupes (Sport didn't have an "s" at the end. This car is an Impala Super Sport Coupe.
I had a 67 impala 2nd owner. The original owner had a minor accident and went to Earl Scheib and painted it poop brown. Originally it was yellow. I peeled off the Earl paint and it was gorgeous. Never was a fan of yellow, but that one was beautiful. Had a hi perf 327. Sweet car in and out.
1966 & late year '65s, ONLY w/ 396 could have Turbo. (THM 400). In '67 THM was available w/ 327s ONLY for Impala & Caprice & at least some of those may actually have come with "switch-pitch" torque converter generally thought to have been reserved for Buick & Olds only! 1968 saw expansion to the new "307" that replaced the 283, but again that option was only for the two top series, NOT Belair or Biscayne. FINALLY, 1969 with intro of Turbo 350, THM became available in all Chevrolet car lines & models, 6 or V8. Obvious exceptions being Corvair, using its own unique transaxle & 4cyl Nova.
Yep, I remember - P R N D L. A 64 Impala was my dad's last brand new car. It was a real nice car-- until him and my sister drove it into a house and totaled it (lol)
I had to go to speech therapy back in the second grade (overcoming deafness), and my school principal would sometimes take me there. She had a car just like this brand new, and even as a seven year old kid, I knew it was a new car and a ‘67. ☺️ You just don’t see these anymore on the road.
That's David Ketchum with the glass garage I think? He use to be a secret agent on the Show Get Smart, always hiding in a strange place...like a mailbox or cabinet.
Our 67 new Family car…until a tree got it…Little brother joy ride… 327 was quick. Didn’t Darren Steven from Bewitched drive convertible version on show ? Thanks for sharing.
Next thing you may see is "the Windex birds" heckling about that "glass garage" I KNEW THAT WOULDN'T LAST! I also thought the owner would hit the "garage" with his head before hitting his Impala into it...
@MerleOberson IDK about you, but the modern car I drive has just about as much black vinyl as those old cars, and fries just as much as my '63 Mercury. Some things don't change much.
I own & drive an exact duplicate to this vehicle, & they were powered by a myriad of engines i.e., a 250-6, 283, 327, 396 (like mine), & a 427. But yes...340,347 had the 275-horse L30 under the bonnet.
Those were sure the good days! I always could hardly wait every year when Chevrolet would introduce that new year offering, most having complete new body styles like the 1959 and the 1960 cars. Those cars were built with the famous, "Body By Fisher", and they were very well built. Even the American motors cars, along with Studebakers were good cars. Chrysler products, not so much.

Hey thats Agent 13 from Get Smart David Ketchum. Well into his nineties today, looking great in this ad!
Bring back the old days, when cars were built right here in America...
Let's make America great again.
Yes bring back all the big beautiful American cars with a V-8 engines and put the speed limit on all the highways at 78 miles an hour let’s do it right if you’re going to do it.

What's interesting in the 60s GM line Chevrolet is the most coveted. The question is why.. ? It's the least expensive fewest luxurious features.

OMG i learned how to drive in a Impala, identical to this one.
My dad has one of these cars Chevy Impala 1967. Painted red
It was a very pretty car.
still is now
Was is a very clean Ride. Love that Fastback look!!!!
@@ANDREWSAMY562 kinda. I think the design fell off after 2013.

You know your Caprices.
Teresa67 Factoid the formal roof line is kinda ugly tbh.
Teresa, the Caprice coupe's roofline wasn't completely unique.. they did slap on the Impala to create the Impala Custom Coupe from '68 to '70...
I had a 1967 Chevy Impala when I was in HS in 1975. Loved my Chevy

Very funny commercial! When I was growing up my grandmother drove a 1967 Impala sedan in Sierra Fawn.
We had one when I was 5. I wish I had it now. 283 and a three on the tree.
I had a red one as my first car. Loved that car. Wish I still had it.
love the big fastback Chev's
It's amazing how much things haven't changed in nearly 50 years.
I love the coke-bottle styling. Too bad this was 25 years before I was born

Im so glad I wasnt the only one who noticed!
My dad used to own an Impala they're great
My mom had a base model '65 Bel Air. Same basic style, but it had the beer can tail lights.
That's a hilarious car ad in the 60s!

Beautiful car. I had one like it once.
By far the best looking impala
Skip, Of the Impalas I like 1960/61bubble top and 1965 the best.
Fisher Body in Marion, IN. made those GM body parts!
Once upon a time, before Chevrolet became known as “Government motors”
Oh my god Its like watching Doug Demuro
Yes, Dave Ketchum was Agent 13, lol

Glass garage. You COULD just stash her at Singer's Auto for a while.

Next thing you may see is "the Windex birds" heckling about that "glass garage" I KNEW THAT WOULDN'T LAST!
I also thought the owner would hit the "garage" with his head before hitting his Impala into it...
People with glass garages should look where their driving.
That car is far more gorgeous than any current car.
Bill Bright although the 2014 chevy impala is nice.
Afi James yes indeed my friend you are so correct. I have a 72 nova that looks like beautiful metal sculpture to me, she still runs great to.
My second car was a 67 chevy impala with a 327 Quadra-jet carburetor 2 speed powerglide. And plenty of room for the lady's
Got my drivers license on my dad's 67 impala ss
awesome
I don't miss those vinyl interiors, frying on them on a hot day
+MerleOberon I could also smell that thing just by watching this video. You know what I'm talking about that old moldy car smell.
@@gnoxycat Well obviously they didn't always smell like that. And today's shitty cars will smell just as bad when they're old lol.
@MerleOberson IDK about you, but the modern car I drive has just about as much black vinyl as those old cars, and fries just as much as my '63 Mercury. Some things don't change much.
Last good looking Impala l really liked the dash in the 67 model. U could get it with a 427
0:55 who didn't see that one coming?
My father had that exact car in that color. He said it was the last decent Chevy ever made.
It's neck-snapping fun!
Love it.
My first car!
Wow
Beautiful car. 396 w. 4-speed maybe. See the USA in a Chevrolet.
My dads first new car, same color as in the video..sold it in the late 70’s to a guy in Canada $800 😞
When the Chevy brand stood for something
When adverts were worth watching.
CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON!!!
Impaaala
THE FIRST TIME I GOT "LAID" WAS IN A 67' "IMPALA" JUST LIKE THIS ONE... HER NAME WAS "GINA"... NO NOT THE GIRL, THE CAR 🥰
Did your parents park it in the glass garage?

Wasn't there one in Ferris Beuller's Day Off?
Thats how i feel about my 62 plymouth!

Off to the body shop with that new car. Glass garage, a very poor idea!
Don Draper would not approve
how many years has fischer been with gm?
Deans car!!
Hiiiiiii......I'm Joe Isuzu.....
And to keep those awful vinyl seats from getting too hot... We had the 67 Impala station wagon, actually the Bel Air version..
When cars were real , not vinyl junk.
Mine was a SS 427 and I wish i had known what the values would be ......
Looks like a Stan Freberg
