Vehicle Description
Triple-deuce carbs, four-on-the-floor, and an outstanding restored
look on this 1959 Chevrolet Impala is a head-turning classic with
everything that makes this era in classics so great. So if you want
to be the benchmark that others use, read on.
The Impala was an all-new design in '59, and the front end was one
of the most distinctive to date. But there's so much more that's
grabbing your attention on this classic. The factory-correct Crown
Sapphire paint has been given a professional respray with an added
hint of metallic. So there's a radiance about it that will get
noticed from blocks away. This is part of a comprehensive
restoration that brings extra gravity to a Chevy that was already
quite special. The car is a visual delight with awesome details
everywhere you look. Check out the chrome grille and bumper combo
that dominates the front end with brightwork and even wraps around
the sides. That leads the way for this lower, wider, and longer '59
Chevy. The hardtop profile with wraparound glass front and rear
makes the top-of-the-line Impala look fast standing still. The same
goes for the sporty full-length side trim and upgraded Cragar SS
wheels. But the piece we all marvel at the most is the trunk. The
deep "V" channel that also forms the tailfins was one of the most
daring looks ever put to sheetmetal, and this was an exclusive
design for '59.
Colorful interiors were the Impala's calling card. The turquoise on
the seats and door panels nicely complement the exterior. Plus,
there's something undeniably stylish about the tri-tone cloth seat
inserts (especially how those colors are used for an accent around
the rest of the interior.) The result is the kind of specialty work
from the factory we just don't see today, so it's great to have it
so nicely restored and presented. In fact, this well-coordinated
total color package inside and out is exactly what you want on a
pillarless hardtop, because it's so easy for people to see it all.
This is a full-sized coupe, and so there's plenty of room for
family and friends. But this is also a true driver's classic. The
two-tone dual-spoke jet-age inspired steering wheel is beautifully
finished, and beyond that, the full round gauge package is
downright European. Plus, the correct-style horizontal tach on the
dash and the shifter on the floor are an instant reminder of
something special under the hood.
While they took the time to make everything tidy in the engine bay,
you know all the enthusiasts are just going to go straight to those
three bright air toppers. That's the unmistakable look of
tri-power. The triple set of dual-barrel Rochester carburetors made
you the king of the streets, and so it's nice to have it sitting on
top of an era-correct 348 big block V8. It fires up nicely with a
rumbling tone from the dual exhaust. And you have complete control
over this V8 and its powerful soundtrack thanks to the four-speed
manual transmission. And as you go through all the photos, don't
forget to look at the undercarriage. It has the clean look that
tells you how thorough the restoration was, and it the same time,
the freshness gives you confidence in the drive.
This is the one that checks all the right boxes for an award-worthy
and memorable classic. So if you love the best from the beginning
of the muscle car era, don't miss this triple-deuce. Call
