Vehicle Description
The 1960 Chevrolet Impala is one of the most interesting cars in
this long-standing nameplate. Some of the most iconic styling
elements were combined for this year only. So to find the unique
year restored with a great color combo and a few subtle upgrades,
it really makes for one special coupe you'll happily cruise
everywhere.
Long, lean, and luxurious, Chevy's top-of-the-line looked great in
'60. This was the beginning of the V8 cruiser era, and this coupe
had all the right speedy appearance for it. The bubble top design
of this hardtop is iconic - with its skinny c-pillar and wraparound
rear window. The year-correct Roman Red paint makes an instant
impression thanks to a quality respray within the last few years.
So it will look great under the lights at your local cruise night.
The front end was toned down from the outrageous '59s, which makes
the wraparound chrome bumpers look sleeker. The tailfin is so
massive and integral that it starts at the door and doesn't end
until the trunk lock (some stylists said the idea was these
tailfins were getting so large they really had to lay them on their
side!) Running the same length as the fin is the cool jet inspired
white and chrome trim that's a hallmark of these premium speedy
Chevys. And that streak of white is also a great match for the roof
and wide whitewalls for a terrifically coordinated total
package.
If you loved the red and white look of the exterior, just wait
until you see the interior. People will be instantly impressed the
moment they peek inside. The two colors are masterfully interwoven
on this stylish setup. You even have it as part of the
houndstooth-style inserts in the seats and door panels! There has
been a careful eye to keep this looking classic and cool - that's
why the upgraded AM/FM radio w/aux input has a retro-style
appearance. While family and friends will love riding in this roomy
pillarless hardtop, the best treats are reserved just for you.
After all the Impala got a stylish dual-spoke steering wheel, and
it gives you a clear view of the five individual gauge pods that
look particularly sporty.
Under the hood is a 283 cubic-inch V8. This looks exceptionally
correct - from the Chevy orange on the block to the generator - so
it should be no surprise this is believed to be the original power
plant. It has a two-barrel carburetor to give you a smooth power
curve, which is nice on a cruiser like this. So with the power
steering and a cushy ride, you'll enjoy taking this bright red
Impala out on the road.
Complete with the reproduction window sticker and owner's manual,
this is a true red-blooded American classic restored to show it off
correctly. So don't let it slip away, call today!
