Bel Air in between.
Externally you could tell the difference between them, the Impala had three tail lights per side with the backup light in the middle, the Bel Air and Biscayne had only two tail lights per side.
The Impala had the most external trim, the Bel Air less and the Biscayne was rather bare.
Inside the Impala was dressed up inside, with a deluxe steering wheel, chrome trim on the dash etc.
In '63 and '64 the tail lights were set in a cove like part of the trunk lid. For '65 the tail lights were mounted higher up on the trunk lid.
And we would wire them up so we had three red lights on both sides. Gave the car a much nicer look.
And, who needed back up lights anyway!
