Chevy was dominating the market in 1963 with over 50% of sales. Chevrolet's latest weapon in the sales wars was the 1963 Impala SS, featuring a handsomely redesigned body with the forward-prow rectangular mesh anodized aluminum grille with quad haedlamps housed in individual bezels. The 1963's knife-edged creases are level and parallel from nose to tail. What really makes the SS is the bright engine-turned (swirl pattern) aluminum trim accent. There is no mistaken with the tail panel, which features three round taillamps per side on the Impala and the SS option brought with its engine-turned aluminum panels in the rear cover. The emblems on the front fenders denote the engine in this case "V" and crossed flags for the 327. Impala SS was the top-of-the-line Chevrolet.
The famous 327ci is a cast-alloy-iron block with a forged crankshaft and connecting rods, and 4.00 x 3.25-inch bore and stroke.
