Wow Chevy must buy your designs and actually produce them on the cars. This is amazing. You should do the remodeling of the back of the car too. 💯
I've been saying this. This dude needs to be in the industry making a difference.
Chevy needs to improve on their quality most importantly

This wouldnt sell nowadays, so chevy wouldnt bother, people want pickup trucks and crossovers nowadays, but gm still caters to those people who cant get with the times and still makes sedans for them, albeit not very good ones, i think the malibu is the only one that remains and it resembles nothing it used to, and only has 4 cylinder and v6 as options
@@gtafan12ifyyou sound crazy
The reflection with the different wheels is killing me! 😅
Yeah I noticed that at the end lol
I like it-looks like an ad Chevy would make, showing the heritage of the car.
@@Polychromophilia he's done this before and used that as his reasoning lol
@@freddybell8328 why would u erase that lol, pain in the ass and not a whole much more

Amazing redesign. I’d buy this Impala if Chevy implemented this as a 2022 model.
I know this is random, but I think something that could be a fun Project would be the second generation Chevrolet Astro Van. As it's something that hasn't been around for a long time, and I think a modernization could look wicked cool.
(or maybe make a muscle van-)
Oh no 😁 the Astro Van takes me back 😂 I would like to see that too 😊
I currently own a 2014 GMC Southern Comfort Elite Hi-Top Conversion Van my gramps love it he still has his 1985 GMC Explorer Van with 140k miles in upscale condition yup the tv & vcr still works lol
The only thing I can really say is that I wish you’d sharpened up the grill and modernized the wheel-wells/fenders but other than that, this turned out better than I expected.
Funny how a car can represent both the police force and pimps at the same time :)
And serial killers
Police force-caprice
Pimps-caprice
Gangs-caprice
Lowriders-caprice
Taxi-caprice
Sport-impala
Only talking about this generation tho
🤣🤣🤣
Don't Forget LowRider & Taxi, also ...
Big facts🤣🤣
I think this is the best one I've ever seen. As much as I hate new cars designs, this one is amazing. I hope chevy will buy your design and make the Impala roam the streets in style again
Hell yeah. I'm still trying to get my hands on an OG 96 SS. Love that style.
Owning a 99 SS is on my bucket list !
I love the fact that the old impala wheels are still showing in the shadow on the ground it really shows pass to present
love how ur redesign still has the reflection on the floor
This is literally the coolest redesign you've ever made, this is the type of car I want in my drive way.
I love the style of this model of the Impala. It is still my dream car to this day.💯
Amazing what a few changes in the right spots can do. This redesign looks like a car I'd buy.
We really need an Impala again. As in, an Impala SS.
They dropped a Chevy SS and no one bought it. It’s dead.
@@Ned_Slanders Unfortunately, that's the truth.
Amazing Modernization of this 90s icon. Great job 👍🏼. 96 Chevy SS was my first car ever. I will buy 96 once more in the future as a collector. 😍
This is what the SS should've looked like!
i love these older cars that you wouldn't think could be this cool by seeing them on the road being reimagined
I love how the gas cap is in the license plate
I really would like to see a redesign of "If Geo Was Still a Part of GM" since this video is a Chevy one, and you said it was "Geo"metrical
The chevy SS that was once sold in america should have been called the Impala SS
That's my favorite looking sedan of the 90's period I would definitely drive it.
i am a sucker for cool sedans! i love this!
Great looking one. Would like to see you redesign the back as well.
Same here, I was waiting for him to show the back and how it would look as a modern day Impala SS
Owned one, it was a cool looking car and it drove nicely. Definitely felt stronger than the claimed 240hp and would beat 5.0s all day long. Good memories
Bro that whip is dope😍🔥 great content as allways. Love from Germany
I bought a '95 Impala SS, Dark Cherry metallic, in Aug 95. Drove it for 23 years. Best car I ever owned.
Fun rendering, cool facelift! I owned a '96 Dark Cherry Metallic Impala SS and did subtle but impactful perf mods and just loved it. The trunk had room for subs and golf clubs! 100mph on the highway felt like nothing. I miss it.
If only someone could sell the headlights, and the front bumper. I have had three, and still have two left. I think about this all the time. I guess the net read my mind, and suggested this video. Love your rendition.
Like that one a lot. Fun fact: one almost unnoticeable difference between the Impala and the Caprice is the shape of the rear quarter windows. On the Impala they angle back towards the beltline, European inspired. The Caprice simply slopes down following the roofline.
All 95-96 caprices got the Impala rear quarter window. 91-94 got the triangle.
As a proud owner of a 96 impala I like the design especially the headlights
I want one of the OGs and I want your version of it too. Such a badass classic Chevy.
I owned a green 96 Impala SS back in the day. Ended up trading it for a Suburban after the family grew. It's probably a good thing though, because my wife got pulled over multiple times. It was a cop magnet. it was great while it lasted!
I would definitely identify this a modern car. Great job man. This is one of your best one yet.
Glad you like it thanks
@@Thesketchmonkey can you make a RAPTOR or ST version of the Ford Maverick?🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Next time, please turn the most current generation of the Chevy Impala into an SS!!!
Less of a re design and more of a modded design, which is cool. I would enjoy you making a real re-design video where you just sketch things out like a concept drawing. Like a what if they made this car today?
To me this car is perfect as it is seeing that perfection getting changed was horrible 😂😂
Same
If I had the money I would definitely love to have this created!
Impala SS could easily compete with a charger if they wanted to do it
Yes, but it can't be a FWD abortion like the 2006ish ones lol
pleace do the Ford Pinto next ,
and i like your videos you really have some skills
:D
9:05 - 9:32 You just perfectly described the Chevy SS. They killed it in 2017
300SL (gullwing) with the same treatment would be nice. Sounds challenging, but I’m sure you can do it!
Now THAT is cool! Love what you did here. Also, killer headlights and wheel choices! Do a 2000-2005 buick lesabre please. I wish I could show you my lesabre..
Beautiful car. One thing a lot of SS owners want on this car was the fog light and it takes the look of this car up to a whole other level, beautiful car
Personally what I'd do is work with the 2017 design and adapt it to the 90s style with the new gen lt1 and make it RWD. the 90s style is unbeatable, I own a 94 SS myself 😁
This has become one of my favorite channel on CZcams. Keep doing your thing sir🙌🏾
I love this car
Hell to the yeah I would! Been in love with Impalas my whole life, growing up in Cali and going to the lowrider car shows!
I used to love this car and envied people who owned. I remember renting one on a trip to Detroit and loving it 😄
i would scream over to the dealer to put in an order for one in a heart beat if they redid a V8 sedan Impala LIKE THIS ONE.
Definitely a classic and one of my favorite cars of all time.
You fixed exactly what made this car look like a river boat ferry with it's oversized bubble like greenhouse and just bad looking headlights and overall sagging at both ends look this car had. Great Job!!🔥🔥
This is beautiful! Really nice work
Fun fact: The production 1990's Impalas were in fact more luxurious LT1 equipped 9c1(police package) caprices with added electronic speed governors.
i would drive it too. if it were remade into production, it needs a supercharged DOCH LT5. especially thats also an engine chevy needs to get back to using
Big facts 💯
From the moment I saw an Impala I knew it was the car for me... Took some time, some ups and downs but I got my 96 SS 8 years ago. I messed up and sold her but ended up buying her back and she's not going anywhere ever. It's mean to be mine.
I think a bottom grill and LED fog lamps would have helped modernize the look of the impala. Copy the grill mesh from the original grill and replicate it on the bottom would be nice.
The only thing you have to do is forget the early 2000s whatever that was. I would like to see a modern 60s version too.
Yes! A 1965 Impala SS in Tahitian Turquoise! Two-door sedans were (and still are) the 'hot rod' way to go! Even though the '65 and '66 were very similar-looking (and beautiful!); those protruding taillights on the '65 still stir my soul! 1967 and 1968 Impalas are quite handsome, also.
Side note: the rims on the '96 SS are killer, and would be a great way to tie the '65 SS to the '96 SS, or so I think.
the design was soo simplistic even my toddler self could easily draw
It was always a nice big handsome family saloon/sedan for it`s day and is worthy of been beefed up and planted in 2022 style!
I would totally buy that rendition, great job 👍😎
That's an amazing redesign
Still does not look like it is built today but rather, "modded" today. Modern cars just have a different feeling to them now.
I have a redesign you could do, turn the gmc syclone into what it would look like today
In the '00s, Chevy had the SS. The Impala was a 6-cylinder family/business sedan, and the SS was an American version of GM's (AUS) Holden division. Minor asthetic differences between both Chevy/Holden. The primary reason it didn't sell was poor marketing on Chevy's part. The SS was/is as fast as the C7 Vette, but as a sedan.
Dude, that'll be a beautiful car if that were to come into fruition!
Dope... I own a 96 and I would love that design for a new ss
I love the 96 impala ss I have 2 of them i like your design yes I would buy it One of mine is customized
I'm always preaching here how some cars look better with a little bit of chrome, but I feel like a dechroming this one was tge right choice. Enjoyed the video and the design.
Had a ‘bright grey green” BGG 95 that I bought in 97, with 27K miles on it. My wife and I drove that gem until it had almost 230K on it, with realistic maintenance. 2 water pumps, 2 power steering pumps, plugs/wires, tires, brakes, and oil changes. That’s it. I gave it to a good friend, instead of selling it, for personal reasons, and when he took it to the dealership to check its condition, they asked if the steering components have been changed. He said “Nope”. I lubed it when I did the 4K mile oil changes. Kept it new, for 230K. Best car I’ve ever owned. Big, smooth, fast, and safe. Chevy could take a few lessons from this masterpiece……
Lots of room for….. batteries….. Sorry guys. I don’t want that either….
DGGM best looking one! Had one totaled a couple years ago. 💯
Looks good. Sometimes the simple look is the best one.
I would totally buy this. Even if I am an SUV guy I wouldn't mind putting my cash on this.
That looks really good they could probably use the Cadillac platform to get this done.
The chrome makes a lot of sense, actually, if you consider what Tim Allen (who still owns a ‘96) has said about it: if a limousine and a sports car had a child together, it would be a ‘94-‘96 Impala SS. The car was designed to be elegant, practical and enjoyable to drive.
Second, it’s obvious that you have never actually driven a mint ‘94-‘96 Impala SS, and that you have precious little knowledge of the history of the industry. This is especially obvious by the manner in which you described the Impala SS’s performance and power output. First, remember that the vehicle is a full-size sedan; and that, at that time, 260 HP and 330 lb-ft of torque made for healthy output, especially in terms of torque. If you had ever driven a mint example of the vehicle, you would know just how enjoyable it is to drive. Remember, when it comes to power and torque, it’s not just about the maximums, but about the delivery throughout the curve. In the case of the ‘94-‘96 Impala SS, it delivers that output where it counts. Remember, the ‘94-96 Impala SS platform was a forerunner to the segment which has since expanded to include the likes of the Cadillac CTS-V. It was a visionary concept which, in execution, continues to inspire to this day. As a car enthusiast with a vast collection of classics, imports and domestics, and a wide range of experience with muscle cars and sports cars, I can assure you that the ‘94-‘96 Impala SS is powerful enough to put you back in your seat, and it’ll no doubt put a smile on your face and the faces of your passengers.
To your credit, your design is beautiful and your comments about the 2000-2020 Impalas are absolutely correct: the 2000-2020 Impalas are not true Impalas, and there will probably never be another true Impala SS. This is why it is such a privilege to be a car collector, and why we must appreciate cars for what they are, what they accomplished in their time, and what they continue to inspire into the future.
PS. I personally think that the original chrome wheels look way better (and more elegant) than the flimsy-looking Camaro wheels. I also believe that your modification to the greenhouse was completely unnecessary, featuring in this video, I suspect, only for the sake of added content. The modifications to the hood, the bumper, and the headlights were the most interesting. Overall, it’s a beautiful design. Thanks for the content. Cheers!
You kept the spirit of the original as the spirit is in the reflection. :-) Love the update!!
I would love to see a new design of the 2005-2011 Lincoln town car
When you took off the chrome I was in denial but then when you explained it I was all in
Underrated car!
No joke it looks Like a Tire Destruction machine either by simple burnouts,donuts or even low level drifting
No doubt I'd buy that. I love the classic 1996, but that's is awesome!
Def would drive this. Even with the ram LEDs up front. Lol
I like how the reflection of the car is still unedited. Makes it look cool
Can you do the Roadmaster Estate next? Keeping the Woody style of course. Clock the avatar ↖️
I would be the first buyer of the modern 96 impala
Thank you for doing this video. I am actually in the process of redesigning my 96 and this video will be a great reference to the fabricators that are designing it for me.
It’s my favorite car of all time! Would buy it today if they put it out like today today ! Especially for 22,000 let’s goo! Literal most beautiful car in the world! IMO
You should do the 2005 Dodge Magnum next
It would basically be the current charger but as a wagon
@@andromeda9340 No I mean have its own design like it used to, not looking like another model
I love sedans and the hell with SUV’s!
I'd love to buy an electric platform and put that body on it. Update the head and tail lights. Also update the interior
Don't care what anyone thinks, been a fan of this car from day 1. Drop it down and put on some Vett. wheels and soup up that cop motor and keep it all black, dam man you would have a hotrod. Thanks for the video and keep something.
Wow this shit is crazy! In 2019 I started to reach out to designers to draw a concept of my 96 impala brought into the modern day. This happens to me all the time. Really
The "black on black" exterior look is flattening - it's finishing a 10 year run - so you might want to rethink it's application on the Impala SS. If you must use it, bring in some subtle red and or grey accents to lighten it up a bit. It's a mammoth box and all-black packaging doesn't help.
I like your organic approach to automotive design, BTW.👍
Build it I'll drive it lol looks great
Forgot to fix the reflection on under the car 😂
I own the 95 caprice with a lt1 engine inside this beauty and yes its a rare running retired police car. Still working on a few things on it and soon the project will be completed 👌 🙌 🙏 💪
I have the 96 Impala and I surely would like if I could find these headlights like this to put on it
Love it
really nice job
Nice start should have done more. Greenhouse glass is classic late 80s/early 1990s 50% of the overall height proportions... Should have moved the body lines up and trimmed the window height.
I’ve been hearing rumours that the current Impala is getting axed. I was shocked to find out that the bulk of these getting built have a tiny 4cyl in a full size sedan. I’m guessing that has something to do with poor sales
They discontinued it a year and a half ago
yes indeed,been looking for something like this thats big and fast other than a hellcat redeye.
Super clean
