Chevrolet Impala

Chevrolet’s full-size flagship for most of six decades, launched in 1958 as the top trim of the Bel Air before becoming its own model line the following year.^[1] Ten generations ran, with two gaps (1985–1994 and 1996–1999) during which Chevrolet dropped the name and then brought it back, first onto a rear-drive B-body full-size car, later onto a front-wheel-drive mid-size and then full-size sedan built on shared GM platforms. Production ended for good in February 2020 when GM closed the Detroit-Hamtramck plant that built it.
