How long is a 1974 Chevy Impala?

A typical 1974 Chevrolet Impala runs about 225 inches in overall length (roughly 18.75 feet), with slight variation by body style and bumper configuration.


The 1974 Impala sits in Chevrolet’s full‑size, B‑body lineup and shared its basic footprint with nearby variants. Length differences come from body styling, trim, and bumper design, so exact figures can vary a few inches between sedans, coupes, and any wagon configurations that were offered in that year.


What affects the length of a 1974 Impala?


Length is shaped by the car’s body style, bumper treatment, and any optional equipment that alters the exterior profile. The following common configurations illustrate the typical range you’ll encounter for the 1974 Impala family.
