I didn't know they built a Right Hand Drive version of the Impala?

The wiper arms also look unusual. They sweep in opposite directions to the centre unlike the normal Left Hand Drive model which sweep in the same direction vehicle_41993-Chevrolet-Impala-1965.html . It's odd that there appears to be a door mirror on the passenger side (driver side in the USA) and none on the driver's side on this UK example.

Were these produced specially as a conversion?

There were some RHD '64 models brought in, factory Canadian-built. But, yes, this may be a one-off promo car that was converted later. I don't see a mirror mounting on either door though.

At the time (1960s and 1970s) the sole importer and therefore only authorised dealer for North American GM vehicles into the UK was something like 'Lenham and Hartman' in London I think I remember. Can anyone confirm or correct this?

edit: Lendrum & Hartman sole concessionaires were in London's west-end for GM-Canada cars from 1930s to the mid-1970s.


I cannot say if they converted vehicles but I thought not and most were sold as left hand drive. It would be interesting if this was a one-off or even a short run of right hand drives made in North America for the UK.

Yes, there is one on the door as we call it "driver side".
