Our family car in the 1970s decade was a 1971 Impala Sport Sedan... Champagne Gold paint, White vinyl top, Saddle Brown all-vinyl upholstery. LOVE this dealer strip... with many new images that I have never seen! Thanks for sharing!❤
My first car was a 71 Caprice two door hardtop - gold with a brown top and a gold brocade interior. Loved that car. Lots of people thought it was a Cadillac.
I like the 71 vs the rest of the years through 76. I like the corner signal lights and the vents on the trunk. As someone commented the front gave it almost a cadilac look.
"1971. You've changed. We've changed"
Sure wish I still had my 73 Caprice coupe. We didn't appreciate what we had back then...
Yeah so many cars we should have kept :)
I own a 71 Chevy Impala .
@@ralphabreu5022 Lucky you! Take good care of it for sure

My dad had a 74 Impala Sport Sedan. I thought the 74 models look like the 71, but with the new bumper system. And dad's car wouldn't start until you fasten your seat belts. Also first year, of the lap and shoulder belts together. A great car. No trouble. Traded it in on 79 Impala. More equipment, then. Power door locks, tilt column. Cruise control. Duel remote outside mirrors. It listed for 7, 987.00. The 74 was 5,600.00. Both excellent cars. Miss those days... take car of you 71. I hope to find another 76 Grand Prix. My first car. One other thing. In 71-73 the steering column and wheel was black no matter what color the interior was. GM beginning to cut corners. Take care all.
So nice to see a classic dealer film from Chevrolet Communications!
yeah i have a lot more.
Our family car in 1971 was a tan Caprice with brown vinyl top. Also my driver training car that year was a 71 Impala. Great cars; wish I had a new one!!!😊😊 Dad never liked the flow through ventilation system though...
My dad had a 1971 impala 4 door hardtop
So did our family 😊
The one major engineering feature of the '71s was unmentioned - the fact that all engines were designed to run on low-octane regular leaded or unleaded gasoline, thanks to lower compresson ratios. This was in preparation for the 1975 models, which would be equipped with catalytic converters for which unleaded fuel would be required.
Would like to see the Chevrolet Communications films for the 1971 Monte Carlo and Camaro.
Got more coming! make sure to sub :) czcams.com/video/wWwL-DvUWpQ/video.html
Those sure were comfortable cars. Smooth and quiet!
Except they had the horrible louvres in the trunk lid that allowed water to seep in the trunk. 👎
those are the airflow! :)
I'll take a Caprice in each color, if you would please - LOVE THE '71 CAPRICE!!!!
Ready to Buy !
I had 4 or 5 of these...caprice, impalas...fast, and comfy!
Our 1973 Impala was a great car . Rust & corrosion did the car in after many years of service !
Those were the GOOD car days! Not now
Well, you can blame GM for that. They decided to only make trucks and SUVs.
Nope gas crisis. Panicked everybody and strikes crippled. The prices and quality @@wildcat64100
1971 was IMO the best year for the full sized Chevy's from 1971-76 , I thought they've gotten worse as they've progressed till the 1977 model year.
Groovy!
It's like cool man... :)
The front ends look very Cadillac-ish, not that it's a bad thing.
I enjoyed driving a bright red 1979 Impala coupe with the bent rear glass and console shifter with white vinyl interior.. sporty !
No 79 impala had a console shifter

@@dtb305sport. Coupe bucket seats. Console... rare
I'll take the 4 door Caprice with the big block 454!
We had the wagon with 400...vid. Passed everything but a gas station😅😅😅
7:12 that right there was my selling point
That seat material soon went shiny and often flaky.
It always scraped the skin. Only luxury in a Russian gulag way.
yeah it would harden and flake off after a while.
@@autochronicles8667the vynal seat would get shiny and parked at mall in summer wood burn your skin when entered
These rusted quickly in our Canadian climate … doubt there’s one left anywhere?
we had disposable cars for quite some time... ditch em and get a new one every 2-3 years.
Why can’t they make cars this attractive any more. Most of them are bland, and the Asians are downright ugly,
Caprice = elegance? More like dudes named Steve who have open warrants.
I dunno thats a pretty snazzy film...
@@autochronicles8667 poorly contrived marketing. Selling an obvious facade. No wonder sales plummeted during this era for the big 3.
