Classic automobile produced by the motor company Chevrolet. Used a lot in West Coast Rap Videos & has a big part of the West Coast lifestyle, especially Impalas from the Early 1960s (mostly the 1963 & 1964 SS Models). Made famous by Eazy-E/NWA. Also the 1996 Impala SS is a big model in the west coast scene.
The Fellaz Out There Tryin' To Make That Dolla, I Pulled Up In My 6-4 Impala.
Probably the first really successful front wheel drive cop car. The Taurus was offered as a police package in the early nineties, but failed. After the Caprice ended, the Lumina was a FWD Chevy police car, but not well-recieved. The Intrepid might have caught on too, but it's been replaced by the RWD Charger.
Move Over, Crown Victoria! The Impala is ready to roll!
The Impala is such a common police car that it is used by the NYPD.
