I liked the commercial, but it didn’t make me any more likely to buy a current GM product, they abandoned most of everything that Impala stood for. I learned to drive on a ‘72 Impala with a 400ci engine. You didn’t steer that car, you aimed it.
My first car was a used and abused 61 Chevy Biscayne. And yes while it gave a teenager freedom, it also made me cry. First car that i ever took to 95 mph , in W Va , Byrd Hwy, with a sleeping girlfriend, now and still wife.
And regular gas was 27 cents a gallon.
I learned on Dad’s ‘62 Bug, then Dad let me move to to his ‘66 Bonneville four door with a 389, Turbohydromatic, and a big Rochester 4 barrel Quadrajet. It was the very definition of “land yacht.” It had bench seats the size of landing strips.
No, for sure you shouldn’t buy current Chevrolet or GM products.
