Chevrolet 1963 Impala Sport Coupe
The Impala was restyled on the GM B platform for the first time for 1961. The new body styling was more trim and boxy than the 1958–1960 models.
The 1963 Impala featured rectilinear styling with an engine-turned aluminum rear taillight panel surrounded by a chrome border on SS models. Engine choice was similar to 1962, with the small-block 283 cu in (4.6 L) and 327 cu in (5.4 L) V8s most popular. The Sport Sedan featured a new, creased roof line. A new "coved" instrument panel included simple indicator lights for hot and cold engine conditions. An optional factory tachometer was built into the dashboard, just above the steering wheel. Impala wagons got triple-unit taillights for the first time.
Shown here is the 2-Door Hardtop - 'Sport Coupe' bodystyle.
I used this car as the base of the 'Boo-Berry' custom back in December 2020.
This era Chevrolet were particularly boxy and rectilinear, a stark contrast after the styling oddities seen in the late 1950s.
