The Biscayne was a series of automobile produced by Chevrolet 1958-72.Exccept for 1958, the Biscayne was the least expensive of the Chevrolet full-size cars, which included the Delray, Bel Air, Impala and Caprice. The Biscayne name survived in Canada through the 1975 model year.
Biscaynes were produced primarily for the fleet market, though they were also available to the general public. Particularly to those who wanted low-cost, no-frills transportation with the convenience and room of a full-size car. While most were sold with a six-cylinder engine through the late 1960s, nearly all Biscaynes sold in the early 1970s had a V8 engine and automatic transmission.
Throughout much of the 1960s, Biscaynes were available with high-output big-block V8 engines and 4-speed manual transmissions with low-ratio final drives. Original examples of these high-performance cars are highly sought after by collectors today.
