61 Is when Chevrolet made a turn around in styling since the 58 model.  They had a great run from this point on.

After 1959, the changes were such an improvement for me that I liked equally the next few years of design.

Love that ‘61 bubble top Impala. Chevy even offered a 2 door post Impala in 1961.

I like the '59 & '60 Impalas very much (prefer the '60 of those two) but LOVE the crisp,  trim and beautifully styled '61....it gets the nod today by a wide margin.
