For Sale: 1961 Chevrolet Impala in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

A great coordinated color theme, triple-deuce big block power, and some nice upgrades (like cold-blowing A/C) come together to make this 1961 Chevrolet Impala a very cool cruiser. But we don't have to tell you any of those highlights for you to want this coupe. That's because the rare bubble top design is the kind of style that has kept these Impalas in demand for over sixty years. And because these were such cool cruisers, we're glad to see all the right details. You see it on the outside with a full-length sweeping side piece that starts at the headlights, frames the cool white streak, and then continues to the rear where it helps create the distinctive dipping "V" trunk - a feature you could only find in 1961. And inside you have such an intertwined red and white that even the steering wheel is two-tone. But what may be the most impressive part of it all is the right care and investment that have gone into this coupe to make sure it remains an easy cruiser today.
