The first standalone Impala therefore got to see the daylight in 1959 with a full redesign, while the second and the final year of this generation was released in 1960 with another visual refresh, including the return of the three-round taillights on each side.
When it comes to engines, the second-generation Impala was offered with a choice of three units. The base option was the 235 (3.9-liter) six-cylinder, while the V8 lineup included two engines – the 283 (4.6-liter) Turbo Fire and the 348 (5.7-liter) Turbo Thrust, also offered in a 350-horsepower configuration thanks to a triple two-barrel carburetor setup, mostly known as Tri-Power.
