1969 Chevrolet Impala

A little classier and fancier than the Biscayne and Bel Air models, the Impala featured deluxe steering wheels, door and window frame moldings, glove box and luggage compartment lighting, and extra-thick foam seat cushions in the front. The 1969 Impala SS would be the last year the the SS would be produced until 1994. It only came with a 427-cid engine and it was the only time that front disc brakes were standard.
