Turning on the waterworks has always been a viable strategy for filmmakers as the holidays are a time that spark emotional responses. Tom Hooper was the esteemed director of the new “Holiday Ride” ad that so many viewers are falling in love with. Hooper is also known for his brilliance shining through “The King’s Speech” and “The Danish Girl”. There is now a four-minute version of the spot posted to YouTube that enables the viewer to check out the stunning portrayal of a very lovable 1966 Chevy Impala.
The spot begins with a widower who has done the longstanding duty of keeping his late wife’s untouched 1966 Chevy Impala stowed away safely in a barn that he frequently visits to honor her memory. Since she can tell how special it is for him, his daughter then brings the Chevy in to a local expert to help friends restore it back to full and vital life. He discovers the immaculate blue car in the barn; it’s not a surprise to see how gleeful he is during his first drive!
Everyone here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis fondly remembers the 427 CID V8 that was introduced that year as the largest engine option and brand-new grille on the Impala. There were two versions of the engine: one was rated at 390 horsepower and another “special performance” options rated at 425 horsepower courtesy of its heavy-duty four-bolt main block. The base V8 was once again a 327 CID motor that produced 275 horsepower, and the boxy appearance visually went along well with the new taillights.
At the time, getting up to 60 mph in just 7.2 seconds was blisteringly fast, and the recognizable rumble was always a sure sign that one of these beautifully made numbers were unwrapping and comin’ round the corner! In between 1965 and 1970, one million Chevy Impalas were sold. Another addition that fans loved on the ’66 was the chrome beltline door strips that were made to prevent dings that can occur in a drive through of a busy parking lot. Much like other SS cars, the horsepower number could be bumped up to 500, and even further into the high-powered stratosphere!
One choice from the present day’s offerings that is fantastic at providing the power that hungry track hounds crave is the 2018 Chevy Camaro. It offers up a great-sounding V6 and V8, amazing performance for the price, and the massively exciting 1LE track package. A model that is all about the pure and unbridled joy of track driving; it’s nearly impossible to find a better value on the market for anyone on the hunt for sheerly breathtaking thrills!
