There is an inset grille-plate on the upper side that bears the Declasse logo on the center and the manufacturer name on the driver side, while the outer sections act as light covers in a similar manner to the Dukes, which move to reveal a set of dual circular headlights.
The Impaler assumes a body shape similar to cars like the Buccaneer and the Chino, featuring a large front bumper with rivet details on the upper side, small intakes on the outer sections and the license plate on the center. The car also has design cues from the 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle, especially for the rear end and tail light arrangement. The Impaler returns to Grand Theft Auto Online with a design based on the 1967-1968 Chevrolet Impala, with a lot of influence taken from 1969 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron. The vehicle appears with a continental kit on the back, and may spawn in two variants: with its roof up in Liberty City, and with its roof down in Vice City. The Impaler appears to be based on a 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird, although its name may be a play on 'Impala', suggesting it has also inspirations from the Chevrolet Impala (presumably the third generation, due to the square-shaped body and the convertible layout).
