Join us as we dive into the incredible story of Bill Robinson, an 82-year-old Vietnam War Veteran who has cherished his 1962 Chevrolet Impala for 61 years. In this video, Bill recounts his adventurous journey with his friend Roger, hitchhiking from Seattle to Dallas and then taking a bus to Naples, TX, where he first laid eyes on the stunning red Impala.
Despite a modest Navy salary, Bill managed to finance the car and made countless memories along the way, including taking his future wife on their first date in it. Now, after 59 years of marriage, Bill and his beloved Impala are regulars at local car shows across Texas, where he proudly shares his remarkable story.

    A story well worth listening to. I remember I was 10 yrs old coming out of school when I saw the 62 Impala for the first time. One of my favorites.

    That's an awesome Car, I bought a '64 SS from the Original Owner back in '82, he didn't like the '64 Red so he had it painted '62 Fire Engine Red just like this right after he bought it, mine had White interior, unfortunately my Ex Wife hounded me daily about that Car so I finally sold it, I wished I just would have divorced her first and I'd still have the Car.

    I learned how to drive with a exact duplicate of this car... base 283 2 barrel (black with red interior) only thing that was extra was somebody had put duel crome pipes out the back (and it sounded great!) ...manuel stearing and brakes! :) ... it was my mom's second hand car... and a great one!

    that was a great story. I'd like to hear if he drove it continuously since new or is spent some time resting in the garage. also what it looked like before he restored it.
