What year was the first Chevrolet Impala LS made?

I’ve always been a big fan of classic cars, so I decided I’ll take the plunge and get a Chevrolet Impala. I wanted to learn more about the car and also see what year the LS trim first debuted. When was the Chevrolet Impala LS first made?

The
Chevrolet Impala LS
is definitely a handsome and iconic classic car! The Chevrolet Impala was debuted as a sporty trim to the Bel Air coupes and convertibles in 1958 and became a separate model in 1956. However, the first Chevrolet Impala LS trim was not introduced until 2000—in the eighth generation, which no longer carries its classic car look.
If you’re still interested in getting the classic Impala without the LS trim, you can expect the following features on some of the original cars:
  • Iconic teardrop taillight design
  • Four-door hardtop or sedan, or two-door hardtop or sedan
  • Standard I6 engine or V8 engine
  • Six-way power seat
  • “Speedminder” feature that triggers a buzzer over a driver-set speed
Although the 1958 Chevrolet Impala was originally listed at $2,841, this highly sought-after collector’s car now goes for at least $30,000 and can cost over $100,000 to acquire. The actual price will depend on the condition of the car and any modifications done to it.
