    Cool story, China Motors has been doing some nostalgic pieces like this. I was 10 years old and we toured the GM Lakewood(GA) assembly plant. They were building 1965 Impalas that year. 45 yrs later I walked thru the new state of the art Kia assembly plant in West Point, GA. What a world of difference between then and now.

    I love this commercial. Hits home for me. Dad's favorite car he ever owned was a '65 Impala SS.

    Incredible- thanks for sharing. I had a beloved '69 Dodge I was forced to sell, so that touched a nerve for me.

    I'd get nostalgic for a car like that, too. I'd seen that video before, but had not noticed that not only was it a '65 Impala SS, it was a '65 Impala SS 396, with a 4-speed manual. Also, it apparently had been kept mostly 'all original' all this time.

    I really wouldn't mind finding a '65 Impala wagon.......if equipped properly.

    Agreed. The six five Impala body style is one of the General's best from the 60's. :thumbs2:
