Used 1962 Chevrolet Impala for Sale near District of Columbia

After a banner year in 1961, sales of the 1962 Chevy Impala dropped slightly, with only about 100,000 produced, 15,091 of which were Impala SSs with the 409 engine. In one of first of many "mistakes" in the Impala line, Chevrolet made the car less rocketship-like, moving many of the drag racers to other Chevys - all of which were now available with the popular 409 engine. Those that stuck with the Impala were pleased with its new, more-powerful 409, which sported a double four-barrel V8, producing 409 horsepower. The base Impala engine was a 235-cubic-inch inline six.
