   1 '65 and 2 '67s.   
      
   In Chevy terms, the pickup front end "forehead" became smaller in '67,   
   but both years had the headlights low, just above the bumper.   
      
   '67 Impalas were hinting at the sort of backend the OtherGuy's   
   Barracuda had at the time, while the '65s were still close to   
   conventional back decks.  (The 'Cuda seems to have flattened the tail   
   lid in the '70s.)
