This day in automotive history...
 

1957: Chevrolet registers the "Impala" name as a trademark.

50th birthday eh?

Indeed it is. Which surprises me why Chevy/GM hasn't done anything to commemorate it? You would think an anniversary model or something. Not even a mention in the news about it.

because the Impala is but only a shell of its former self.

Exactly.

Not to mention that rap videos promote the Impala better than GM's marketing team.

:werd:
Sad but true

i have part of a 96 impala... the motor is in my 79 vette, i guess i'll open the trailer and say congrats to it

Yeah, I guess you guys are right. It's too bad.

they registered the name... but who said they sold it out of production that year?
