1958 Chevrolet Impala Convertible
For 1958, the styling of the full-size Chevrolets was fresh and new and the cars were longer, lower, wider, and more luxurious. The trusty 283 remained the mainstay power plant, but new for 1958 was the first of the company's legendary big blocks. The new 348 was available in four different states of tune. Despite a weak American economy, Chevrolet's sales remained strong, and the new highline Impala series accounted for more than 15 percent of sales. Chevrolet continued to dominate the low price field, with more than 1.1 million cars sold.
This Impala Convertible is spectacular in every respect. The exterior is Snowcrest White with a white convertible top and has a red/grey/black interior. The restoration that started in 1994 was completed in 1996 at a cost of $223,000. It has only 1,029 miles since completion. In 2003, it received an AACA National First Prize. It comes with receipts and photos during the restoration. It has the 348ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed manual transmission. It features power steering, factory air conditioning, Wonderbar radio, traffic light viewer, tissue dispenser, wide whitewall tires, full wheel covers with spinners, fender skirts and exhaust ports. If you are looking for most likely the finest there is, then you have found your car.
