1972 Chevy Impala Commercial - Casey Kasem Voice Over "A better way to see the U.S.A."

[@JamesSmith-wp4um]

One of the best advertising campaigns to ever air on the television and radio media.

[@landyachtfan79]

RIP, Casey. Hope you're still countin' em down in Heaven.

[@MrMatteNWk]

I'm coming out of this uptempo goddamn commercial and have to go into somebody dying...

72 Chevy Impala 2 door. My first car in 1983. My grandparents bought it from the next door neighbors for $100 who were the original owners. They gave it to me for my birthday.

[@boomer3150]

Same here, but 1971 Impala 2-door, from an aunt. I received it in 1976. Best car I ever had.

[@boomer3150]

Loved the concave rear window.

[@CharlesAtwell-or7bm]

Just found this ad and I too received a 72 Impala Custom Coupe in Sequoia Green as a gift, an inheritance from an uncle but it was my grandparents car they bought new. He had kept it inside but it needed much attention to get back going as it had sat 14 years. I have many fond memories of riding in that car. It still performs very well with its original 400 small block. I love driving it and it gets plenty of attention now as you don’t see them often. Back in the 90’s when my grandparents were still using it nobody would have given it a second glance. Funny how time changes things!

[@bobbish782]

I had a '72 in 1983 as well. Impala Sport Coupe with the 400, which I bought from the original owner for $400. He said he'd charge me a dollar for every cubic inch and he'd throw the rest of the car in for free. It was the first car I ever hit 120 mph. It was also the first car I received a speeding ticket in.

And don't come out of an uptempo record when I do a long distance dedication about a dog who died

[@scottyjett6017]

I remember when my mom and dad had one back in the late "80's. The car was big as a yacht.

[@hankaustin7091]

Which is no different than today's SUVs and trucks...

[@Yankeededandy62]

@@hankaustin7091 True. But nothing beats the feeling of driving one of these land yachts. No SUV ever comes close. Same size or not.

I still want one

Let's take our family sedan and drive it along the beach. Nothing like a little salt water.

[@hankaustin7091]

well.. except this is a coupe, not a sedan... sedans have 4 doors..

[@emeyer6963]

That's why they rusted out before the 1980's began.

[@bhodges00]

Beautiful car

[@scottlymbery15]

The 72 Impala handled pretty good I thought for big car, my wife drove it like she was still driving her Renault 12. Also had a 67 Caprice 2 dr HT with buckets . Should have kept that one, my Dad gave it too me.

[@ScreamingEagleFTW]

woulda shoulda coulda.. story of my life.

[@CharlesAtwell-or7bm]

They do handle quite well and have no trouble keeping up with today’s traffic. I bet with some big sway bars they could really fool some people.

[@superbird4351]

I want one of these in black

[@glenselenselvs]

The waters were still , the climate was calm the heavens were at peace and people were satisfied of course 72 years i was born. God its great.

[@firecriss1392]

Think that same car was used for chase scene at the end of "McQ".

[@sForever-ud5lj]

My first car. back in 1989. Got it in High School for $800 used. When driving was fun and new.

[@artjones2498]

remember "baseball,hotdogs,applepie and cheverolet"????

[@gojoe2833]

i always wamted a mint factory stock 71 or 72 Impala. And while we're at it, how about gas at 27 cents a gallon??

[@ScreamingEagleFTW]

27 cents was worth more. hourly wage was like 3 bucks an hour.

[@misterwhipple2870]

And while we're at it, how about the wages of 1971?

America should should build cars like this again Instead of SUV'S that suck more gas than this car ever did.. Bring back the classics

[@gojoe2833]

Problem was, a 1972 Impala couldn't do better than around 15 mpg on the highway with the 350 cubic inch 2 barrel motor, even worse with one of the thirstier engines. But it was a wonderful car to drive, I'd still love to have one if I had a place to keep it!

[@stevenikazy2943]

My driver's ed car was an early 70s Impala with a V8. First time I ever got yelled at for speeding.

[@douglasstark1657]

MY Driver's Ed car was a '72 Impala, too! It was a dark blue "sport sedan" (4-door hardtop) with a painted white roof and fender skirts. AND a big-ass metal sign attached to the rear bumper advertising the Chevy dealership that donated the car. That sign made a HECK of a noise when I backed the car into a fence and almost put it into the river.....ahhh, good times!

[@brenthill3241]

Man do I remember those commercials. What a fall from grace over the next few decades. The Bolt is promising and I wish they'd bring back the Volt to give options for the real world yet still its a car that has a huge improvement in economy over the traditional ice version. Apparently that's not in their direction which makes me wonder who's possibly just a figure head and who is actually running the company. GM. Government Motors?

[@OsbornTramain]

few decades? it's 50 years of downward spiral.......I own a Bolt, love the car!

[@brenthill3241]

@@OsbornTramain Yes. A typo on my part. I meant the last few decades.

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

Really didn't like the bloat/cheapness/rattles/shimmies that came with the 1971 GM full size cars. GM built better quality cars in the 1960's IMO. However I will say before those big bumper 1974+ year cars, the GM whales were pretty stylish. Really love the front clip on this Impala along with that radically curved rear window, it was a whale of a car but still looked pretty fresh.
