Stories of love are always a holiday classic. And in this holiday film, it’s felt through the heartwarming and sometimes heart-wrenching memories of a classic 1966 Chevy Impala.
Based on actual events, we teamed up with Academy Award winners Tom Hooper (director), Claudio Miranda (director of photography) and Rachel Portman (composer) to tell the story of love, redemption and restoration. Because the greatest gift anyone can ever give is joy. Happy Holidays.

Thanks for sharing.
This one: golden.
That was great! I bought a 2008 Impala and got over 300k miles with really no problems. Decided to buy a new one and they have quit making them? Bought a 2020 (new) the last year they made them.
That is one loooooong ad.
That’s because there is no political agenda. Just a very good story, very good acting, and very good director. Bingo, people like it...
Back in the mid-80s I lived in Jacksonville Fl. Lots of performance cars on the market due to Naval personnel getting transfered. There was a 1967 4-speed Implala with the original 427 engine. Car was advertised as being original and in good shape, and not a lot of money considering. At the time I lived in an apartment and didn’t want to try and keep a collectable car in the parking lot. Lots of older Corvettes and other muscle cars on the market also.
Over three million views in a week? Wow!
Shows how good 4 minutes of video can be. Minimal talking, quiet guitar and good acting!
Kudos
What a great ad!
I was just shocked there was a white guy in it.
My late brother had a 1964 Chevy Impala, similar to the 1966 in the video and the same color but not a convertible. He couldn’t drive it - because he was blind due to macular degeneration. But he could see well enough that he would “drive” it out of his carport to the street and back in, a back and forth total of about 25 yards. He loved that car!
Great story, thanks for sharing it...
My mom had one about that age. When I was five, she was going to the store and put my 2-year old brother in the front seat. She started the car and realized she forgot something. She left the car running and the door open. My brother reached over and put the car in Reverse. When it was over, he had driven down the driveway, out in the street, did a U-turn and up into my neighbor’s drive before my mom dove in and hit the brakes. He destroyed the gate, tore off the door and worst of all, ran over my tricycle.

Yep!
Have a 2009 Impala LTZ we bought new which has a little over 9,000 miles on it. Love this car, just have other vehicles and don’t use it that much.
we were watching a little you tube presentation about Steve Largent and THAT made my husband tear up....so you can imagine our reaction to this beautiful video...
Oh, that’s funny...
They were great cars.....I know because when I bought my 1969 (Nov 1969) Chevelle I knew I'd. Never sell it. I didn't, cause it's in my garage right now. Had it completely restored in 2004.
