The Chevrolet Impala has been produced off and on since 1958. We are currently in the 10th generation of the popular make and model, and in its third continuous production run which began in 2000 after a four-year hiatus. We’ll be saving the late-model Impala Ride Guides for some future OnAllCylinders article, and taking this
Tire tread wear comes in many forms. The wear pattern on your tires may be normal or it could be the result of an underlying issue. For example, you may be over-inflating your tires or your tire pressure could be too low. Or, perhaps your vehicle could use an alignment. A quick visual inspection using the
The Ford Fairlane was born in model-year 1955, and shared some design similarities with the more-famous Tri-Five Chevys as well as their Buick counterparts. The Fairlane was named after Henry Ford’s estate in Dearborn, MI, called Fair Lane. As will be obvious as you preuse the generations, the Fairlane underwent several changes throughout its lifespan, but
The Chevrolet El Camino wasn’t the first American “coupe utility pickup” vehicle—the Ford Ranchero beat it by two years—but it’s probably the most famous. Is it a car? A truck? Who can tell? And does it even matter? The distinctive Elco has a look all its own. It has been featured in auto magazines and blogs,
The Pontiac Grand Prix was born in model-year 1962. It was mostly the handiwork of famed auto engineer John DeLorean, who was also responsible for creating the Pontiac GTO, Pontiac Firebird, Chevrolet Vega, and time machines. The first Grand Prix generation lasted through model-year 1968 on GM’s B-body platform, before switching to a stretched platform in
What the world’s most interesting man says is true. Buick Rivieras aren’t the most common car you’ll see at a car show (unless it’s a Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac show). But when you’re lucky enough to stumble upon one, it’s usually a first-, second, or third-generation model. Although there were eight iterations of the Riviera through 1999, these first three generations
What a road it’s been for the Buick Skylark. The venerable Buick started life as a convertible-only trim level of the Buick Roadmaster and was conceived to help Buick commemorate its 50th anniversary. Then, after a brief, two-year existence, it was gone. It was resurrected for a two-year stint as a luxury trim level of the Buick Special
The Ford Bronco galloped into our hearts when the beloved SUV debuted with model year 1966. Ford introduced the Bronco to compete with the Jeep CJ-5 and the International Harvester Scout. The Early Bronco (the first generation through the 1977 model) was a totally new concept for Ford, and was brought to production through the efforts
The Ford Falcon lived from 1960 to 1970 (technically model year 1970 1/2), outselling its GM and Chrysler rivals for several of those years. The two-door compact shared a chassis with the Mercury Comet for the first five years of its production run, when its vehicle class included the Chevrolet Corvair and Chrysler’s Plymouth Valiant and
The iconic Chevrolet model we’re umbrella-labeling as the Nova was technically the Chevy II for its first seven years, with the Nova name included only on the vehicle line’s top trim package from 1962 to 1968. The unambiguously named Chevy Nova showed up to rock faces in 1969 with the Nova SS, and rock faces it did with
