I am the third owner of a 1966 Bel Air which I purchased in 1999. It has over 250,000 trouble free miles without any major rebuilds.

Do you drive a 1966 CHEVROLET IMPALA?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
