It's 1:20 in the morning, but this is cool:

Automatic transmission. Interesting.

More Chevy Impala carporn facts:

Weight: 3,879 pounds.
Width: 6-1/2 feet.
Length: 17-1/2 feet.
Engine: Up to 385 horsepower on the optional Turbo-Fire 327 V8
Etc: Zero to 60 in nine seconds, top speed of 130 mph

Advertising of the day promoted it as "...built for the highways like never before...take along all the peace and quiet and comforts of home. Maybe even more."

Heh.

I also just HAVE to include this -- it's the ad copy for the 1967 Chevy Impala SS427 Coupe. God, advertising was so obvious back in the day:

"You like a hood that bulges. After all, you've got quite an engine under there."

Oh, brother!

Definitely!

Although their hood doesn't bulge. Meaning the car, now.

Bobby's Chevelle in the season premiere had a bulging hood. Meaning the car, still.

Of course they all mean the car.

Gosh I'm so obsessed I can't think of anything else. Mmm, I don't mean the car. :D

I do love the car, though. Big, stupid, gorgeous thing.

The car, of course.

That frickin' car was built back when gasoline didn't cost close to three bucks a gallon, with enough steel to make it weigh twice what today's cars weigh, I bet. It looks like it's going 80 when it's sitting still. I think it's a big steel erection, bulging hood and all.

Best description ever!!

Some of the other ad copy for the SS said: "Sometimes, when you're not busy, you just like to sit there and listen to it idle." I'm sure Dean loves to listen to it idle.

That's our Dean, all right.

*dies*

They weren't marketing to girls, obviously.

130 mph, hmmmm? So I guess Dean could really go once he'd revved his engine.
