1966 Chevrolet Impala

In 1966 the Caprice was dropped from the Impala series to become its own line. The Impala was still the biggest seller even though the Caprice was now the most the top model. The Impala was a more deluxe Chevrolet with a color accented full length body side molding on the body flare peak. It had front and rear wheel opening moldings, bright body sills, Impala front fender nameplates and emblems, bright back window accents, deck lid molding with color accent, belt moldings, back up lights in the rear bumper, triple unit wraparound rear taillights, and hood windsplit molding. The interiors had plusher cloth and vinyl seats.
