From 1958 until 1972, Chevrolet offered 3 models in their full-size car line. The Biscayne was the low end, the Bel Air was in the middle, and the Impala was at the high end. Absent most of the interior and exterior trim options of the more expensive models, the Biscayne was produced mostly for the fleet market. It was, however, the availability of optional big-block V8 engines and performance-oriented transmissions that made these cars popular among hot-rodders as well.
I recently found this Greenlight Chevrolet Biscayne, with its striking Louisiana State Police livery, at Toys R Us. A patrol car like this would have been powered by a big-block 396 V8 engine, which had been an available option since 1965.
The B pillar is a painted part of the clear plastic window insert, a nice detail which differentiates it from the Impala hardtop version of this Greenlight ’67 four-door casting.
The Biscayne casting is also slightly modified to show the correct 2 taillights per side, versus three per side on the Impala casting.
