    A great photo: 2003 DBP Marauder v. 1996 DGGM Impala SS

    Was out with a friend last night, and we ran across this '96 Impala SS for sale in Dark Green Grey Metallic. Not one to pass up a great photo op, I parked the Marauder next to it and snapped some photos.

    First off, notice how much taller the Marauder is. The Impala is stock, except for having the wrong size tires on it (215 v. 255).



    The Marauder has much more flash to it as well...bigger exhaust tips, bigger, flashier wheels...




    This being a '96 is the only year of Impala SS I'd ever purchase and that's because of the floor shifter and the analog speedometer and tachometer. However, for as much respect as I have for the Impala SS's, the Marauder is still by far the better car IMO because it's interior is just so much better built and better looking than the Impalas. I really don't like any of the interiors in the last generation B/D bodies, except for the 1991-93 Roadmasters. They seemed so cheap and so boring.

    There used to be an Impala SS in that same teal grey color near where I live. I like that color a lot and if I ever got one it would be that color.

    Thanks for the pics.

    The GM full size cars went really big during the 90's! This was refreshing after the shrinking during the 80's. It was the last hurrah before the end. Always liked the Impala SS, wish I could have afforded one when new.

    Lookie what I parked next to at the local cruise-in last Saturday night.

    A 1964 Marauder with a factory 427.

    I told him I'd like first dibs if he ever decides he'd like to sell it...
