Vehicle Description
This 1958 Chevrolet Impala represents a highly desirable model of a
one-year design. This well-restored example has the cool
black-on-black theme, and best of all, under the hood is a
big-block with tri-power on top!
The trim tag tells us this was born an Onyx Black car. And the deep
shine you see today tells you there has been a big investment in
keeping this looking like a rolling icon. More than just the paint,
the car is a visual delight with awesome details everywhere you
look. Check out the chrome grille that runs from end to end in the
front of this lower, wider, and longer '58 Chevy. The hardtop
styling of the top-of-the-line Impala just looks fast standing
still, and you can see how this first-year car really launched the
now legendary nameplate. There are daring design pieces, like how
the rear quarter panels began an outline that would seamlessly wrap
around the taillights for an appearance like tailfins turned on
their side. In fact, this one shows off all the best classic
cruiser pieces. You see it in the dual aerials, faux side exhaust
trim, and fender skirts. They even added continental kit for even
more classic style. All this brightwork is essential to properly
represent the '58 Impala's unique look, and all is present and
shining. Even the factory stylized wheel covers and whitewalls are
on this one. So overall, you know some real time and money was
spent getting this big Chevy look this amazing.
Inside is more black, but the stylists really took their time, and
so there's much more going on here. For example, the black seats
receive a cool tri-tone insert that both breaks up the sea of
darkness and adds distinction. The door panels are even done to
match. There's a freshness in the fundamentals that are telltale
sign of a proper investment. They even paid attention to the
details, like working dome light, working clock, and the correct
tissue holder. It all has that overall look of quality that will
have you rolling down all the windows on this pillar-less hardtop
so that everyone can get a good view inside. And when you're out on
the road, the retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with aux input gives
you proper driving tunes.
Take a good look at the engine bay. 1958 is a very desirable year
because it was the first time the big block V8 was available in
passenger cars. If you were really lucky, a 348 cubic-inch motor
came with the tri-power (triple two-barrel carburetor) you see
here. So you have a clean and tidy presentation that makes it easy
to show off this important motor, and there's a bit of the right
history with a 1958-corrrect engine block. And just like the rest
of the car, they gave it some good upgrades. So you'll spot the
Optima red top battery, 12-volt electrical system, and a newer
aluminum radiator. The undercarriage photos show off how fresh this
is over every inch. But you'll still want to take this out on the
road thanks to easy cruising features like the Powerglide automatic
transmission, power steering, and power brakes.
Complete with the owner's manual, this is a detail-oriented
restoration of the desirable single-year design that launched the
Impala name. So if you love classic American motoring history, you
know this is your rolling nostalgia. Call today!!!
