@caddy59 yup it is a 1958 the first year impala came out.my grandfather had one just like that minus the hydrolics and i have to say i love this commerical but the 1996 impala ss was really the last year they made a real impala because now gm calls a new spolier and more crome a ss.the 96 impalas had corvette suspention and engine with aluminum heads i know this because both my father and grandfather own one.
Latinos started the lowrider movement. I wish this was done with Latinos lowriding instead of black people. Don't get me wrong, blacks lowride too. But latinos started this lifestyle. Some credit should've been given to latinos for it. Or atleast have both Latino and Blacks cruising!
i love this commercial but not the fact that i dont see a single latino in it.....we started this movement, but im not sayin that no one else is welcome to live the lifestyle.....
@63deluxfleet If you noticed, the cars in the commercial had " stock looking paint jobs" and the cars inside look stock. I'm gussing that is why they were picked
@ghtowagon I can recall seeing this commercial in 1998, so there wouldn't have been a 1996 because it was practically still brand new, and freshly discontinued.
I have a 2006 Chevrolet Maliby which I bought at the end of the model year. In three years, I put 93,000 miles on it. It has not been in the shop once!!
Look - I love Chevrolet. BUT...I wasn't born yesterday. Their cars especially since the 70s have been inferior. Why do you thing the Japs got in and stayed. Even to this day...just about every Chevy or GM product self destructs in about 5 to seven years at 80K miles. I know there are some exceptions..but...Hondas and Toyotas are just getting warmed up good at 80K.
Realistically GM cars didn't get really bad until the early to mid 1990's. I think the full size cars always did the best as far as quality goes. Almost no cars made from 1973 to 1994 were very fast, whether it was Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Chevy, or Dodge. Even the Corvette was slow as hell during this time period. One exception was the Buick grand national, The 1977-1979 Trans AM, and maybe a few special edition Mustangs.
@85buickV8 You know your cars !!!!!! GM went started going bad in the early 80's and by the 90's , the asian auto market took over and still has a sizable grip on the market
I bet you that if I bought a Honda any model and put it up against any GM car with all things being even---the Honda would not be in the shop and the Honda owner would not be out as much money on it....sorry to rain on your parade.....becuase I would love it if GM were kicking Honda's other in ..but they clearly are not
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I would never buy a GM piece of sh!t. Everyone I have ever known that ownes one spends more time with it in the shop than on the road. Glad they are bankrupt! They deserve it!
I hate to say it...but ....buy a Honda or Toyota. They last forever.
that's your opinion. some of GM's cars are a sad, pathetic excuse, but some of them make up for GM's bad name.
as long as you take care of it properly (atleast in most cases), it should be ok. honestly, i do respect your opinions but.. don't knock it till you try it yourself. you can't just live by on what your friends say. any car can be in the shop longer than on the road, some people i know had the same problems with a honda.
You're absolutely wrong. The only problem with GM vehicles are they're faulty electronics and even that can be fixed without paying any money. Hell the 1987 Silverado 3500 in my yard had been sitting there since 1992 and it started within like it did when it came off the assembly line. Please don't make up lies about chevy's being in the garage all the time because thats absolutely false. Toyota's are good too, hondas.. Aside from the NSX and S2000 they haven't done anything spectacular..
@FANADICALCOWHEAD well maybe you should take care of it and someday it will be like my 1988 1500 is going to be when its done after i fix it because i bbought it off a guy like you who is lazy and doesnt want to take care of it.
ok you guys are on crack that "modern" Impala has an outdated pushrod 6 cylinder which makes it nowhere near the top of its class. It also has crumple zones. take it from personal experience you hit a curb in that modern pos it will be 2500 dollars worth of work.
ALL newer cars have crumple zones, not just Chevys. They are intentionally designed to crumple or fold in a crash, so that the car takes most of the impact or force from a collision, and not the occupants of the car. The older cars were heavier and sturdier, yes, but in a crash, the occupants fared worse than the car did. Sure, a newer car is more easily damaged in a crash, but it's easier to fix or replace a car than a human life.
I'll take the risk thank you. I'm talking about the difference between a little car like a 91 dodge dynasty and a chevy impala. Both had the same accident under 20 mph collision with curb. The dynasty need a new tie rod end and and a rim The impala needed 2500 dollars worth of the frame work. I'll take the dynasty.
How the f*** can GM even compare these plastic and tinfoil gocarts they sell now with the cars they made in the 60's?? You can make a new car from the steel in the front and back bumpers of a 65 Impala as it is, just add a few hundred pounds of plastic and electronics. Pitiful to see the way they make gret cars into garbage with the hydraulics too. Thought by now low riders would be a dead fad but they continue to trash the few remaining classics with their stupid hydraulics.
Get used to it, we're not going anywhere, hot rods are more likely to disappear at this point. Reality is most of the cars equipped with hydraulics have been brought back from the dead, saved from crushers etc. If you're so adamant about saving classics.......where's yours?
I have more than one and have had plenty throughout the years. I presently have a fully restored (to exact factory condition) 70 Roadrunner GTX, second one I've had first being in Vegas in 79 when I was stationed there. I've had cars and trucks I've restored from 1932 through present. The one I miss is the 46 Chevy panel van. You want to hack up a fine machine with those ignorant hydraulics - have a nut. Eventually all of them will be gone and so will the idiots that hack them
Must have struck a nerve. Getting personal and disrespecting there huh?
More power to you. It sounds nice, but where's the videos? I'm sure with that amazing list of cars you've owned, you would at least be able to squeeze in a camera in your budget to document these cars you so proudly speak of. You keep waiting for that moment, half of your life is already gone and we're still here. Just do us all a favor and become a little more open minded to different car customization disciplines ;)
Cripes 21 and you're talking smack like this? Hell I have boots older than you and probably in better shape. Get over yourself, you're barely 5 yrs past when you dropped out of school.
Talking smack because I asked you where your classic was? LOL!
That's right half your age and have more sense than you've been able to accumulate throughout your bitter life. Must be sad to reach an age where everything is drooping and all you got to brag about are some old boots. Dropout huh? Now I see the reason behind seniority clause in some jobs, borderline retards as yourself would starve otherwise.
Sure, the cars GM makes today are a lot different than what came out back in the '60s and even the '70s, but I wouldn't call the new stuff "plasic and tinfoil gocarts". I remember how upset my Dad got when they started replacing the old steel bumpers with that plastic they've got today. Automakers needed to find ways to reduce weight, and the bumpers were the first place to start. It's too bad that people like yourself are so down on American cars.
I totally Agree. The only way I support modding an old car like this is if it was dead in a junkyard if you take a restored example and do this you should be shot. As for the "Modern impala" Well what is it 10 years old now or older. It has an outdated engine and better stuff is out there. Last good car being made right now is the Grand marquis and thats on it's way out. Oh another difference the cars of the 70s had 5 mph crash bumpers in that was lowered to 2.5 mph
I disagree. The '58 at 0:19 in that commercial isn't a widely used lowrider platform either but it does fit in nicely when done right.
There ain't no true or not true in this business, lowriders are an art form. It's not as closed as the VIP (Bippu) movement in Japan where there are about 10 cars you can use otherwise you're out. That's fucking stupid if you ask me.
solientGr33n. u have the idea buddy. I love different lowriders like buicks and pontiacs and all that stuff. but lester just see's 64s and 63s and thinks "Yeah they are lowriders and they are the only models" the true ones. like i said 64 is traditional. the most popular model for a lowrider, but being different is original and lowriding somethign else is clearly acceptable. Look at January lowrider magazine front cover
While there is always a lot of debate over racial stereotypes in the childrens cartoon Dumbo, and a lot of it is harmless, this Impala ad is all about exploiting racial and ethnic sterotypes for diversity marketing.
Nevermind the fact that the current Impala is a front wheel drive W Car with its origins more closely tied to the Lumina, GM's diversity marketing team felt it necessary to pitch this car Ghetto Style!!
