Delmont 88. It was the closest to Impala price and equipment wise and could be had with either 330 or 425 (67) and 350/455 (68) engines. Deltas went up a couple notches on price and equipment and were closer to Buick territory.
Wildcats were also pricier than the Impala even in SS trim but LeSabres didn't really offer a performance option. Wildcat covered that market for Buick full-size.
Catalina was Pontiac's Impala equivalent. Bonnevilles and GP were aimed at a more expensive market, especially GP.
Those were years when GM really did have it all together. There wasn't a bad-looking car in the bunch and every one of them had their own styling identity. Nascent emission controls notwithstanding, performance was pretty good too even in the full-size cars.
