Exodus is a customized 1959 Chevrolet Impala built by Bill Cushenbery in 1961.

Built for Tony Cardoza, Exodus debuted at the 1961 Monterey Kar Kapades.[1] It had twin vertical headlights.[2] It also had chromed Dagmar bumpers.[2]

Every body panel was altered in some way, setting a new trend in customizing.[1]

Exodus and El Matador, which appeared the same year, drew a lot of attention to Cushenbery and a lot of custom work for his shop.[1]
