1958 Bel Air Impala differed structurally from the lower-priced
Chevrolet models. Hardtops had a slightly shorter greenhouse and
longer rear deck. The wheelbase of the Impala was longer than the
lower priced models, although the overall length was identical.
Interiors held a two-spoke steering wheel and color-keyed door
panels with brushed aluminum trim. No other series included a
convertible.The 1958 models were longer, lower, and wider than its
predecessors.The tailfins of the 1957 were replaced by deeply
sculptured rear fenders. Impalas had three taillights each side,
while lesser models had two and wagons just one. Crossed-flag
insignias were attached above the side moldings, as well as bright
rocker moldings and dummy rear-fender scoops. 1958 was the first
year of dual headlamps.
