I’m having grade school flashbacks. These cars were EVERYWHERE. Who didn’t know somebody who had a Chevy Impala?

You keep coming up with some great topics and videos. I like how you covered the world and did not limit it to just the United States. I enjoyed the footage and information. Again your extensive efforts are appreciated. Thank you.

As a longtime career mechanic, in about 1989 bought a 65 Galaxie, 390, AT, PS, PB two-door, came in on trade-in...It was straight, started & drove fine, baby-blue, some primer here & there...the interior was trashed, door panels OK, but needed all upholstery , paid one-hundred-fifty for it...lotsa room inside. "Sold" it to my sister who gave it to her daughter.

Ofcoarse myfolks had a beautiful 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS hardtop and a number of years later I personally had a 1966 AMC Ambassador DPL hardtop which was also in nice shape and a pretty sharp and good running car as well!!.

in 66, my dad purchased a Chevy Caprice. I recall numerous road trips in the back seat of that beautiful beast. In the late 80s, my mom gave that car to my brother which he used to drive to high school. The beautiful mint green baby finally met her fate in about 1990 when a careless drive crashed in to my brother. He cried when the car was demolished. RIP green giant.

It's always a treat seeing your newest video pop up in my feed. In my view, 1965 was the pinnacle of American car design. The GM's in particular - especially Pontiac - are stunning. One request, however: I wish I could get you to pronounce Lancia as "Lahncha," the way the Italians intended!

Imperial did it right. If you want to spend over 6k on a "luxury" car, with Imperial you got real African walnut on the dash and door inserts, not cheap stick on appliqué with Cadillacs and Lincolns. Between the three, the Imperials were supposed to be the quietest.

A lot of that weight was the big block. The cars were actually not that heavy for their size. Partly thanks to manual seats and windows.
