Vehicle Description
The 1958 Chevrolet Impala is always in demand because it's the
first year for the name. But nearly 65 years later, there is a wide
swath in the level of quality. So that's why it's great to find a
hardtop that's fresh over every inch (even the undercarriage.) And
it has all the best features for a driver's coupe, like a tri-power
big block, four-on-the-floor, and the confident feeling of a fresh
and thorough restoration.
A quality car starts with the right fundamentals. The trim tag
tells us this is wearing its factory-correct Snowcrest White. It's
a high-quality application that's smooth to the touch... almost
like a fresh snowfall with a frozen layer on top. In fact, this is
well-presented right down to the details. The weather-stripping is
pliable, the glass is clear, and headlights and taillights are
clean. And we know you noticed the brightwork. It rivals the paint
for shin with the wraparound bumpers, Cadillac-like grille, and
full-length trim. We especially like the delicate line that helps
to show off the sharply-formed tailfins. It reminds you that
stylists were kings in the 1950s.
The factory-correct red interior almost looks like it's radiating
from within this car, and so it begs people to come closer. And
since a pillar-less hardtop gives everyone a clear view of the
inside, you'll be glad that everything from the dash to carpeting
looks so nice. Plus, the seats have a beautifully crisp style to
the Impala's cool tri-tone cloth insert that breaks up the vibrant
sea of red. This is a full-sized Chevy, and so it's no trouble to
carry everyone in style and comfort. There's even a well-integrated
AM/FM digital tuner so that you can give them upgraded driving
music. But no matter how many people are along for the ride, you're
going to love the sensation of getting in the driver's seat. It
feels like a time warp as you grip the thin and artful steering
wheel, and the floor shifter lets you know you're in for a good
time.
The engine bay continues this car's ultra-clean and correct style.
It gets the vintage details right with the classic battery topper,
GM hoses, and 348 callouts on the bright orange motor. And the
large honest-looking black air intake almost looks like it's trying
to cover the beast within. The '58 Impala is beloved for being the
first big block Chevy car, and those who ordered the 348 cubic-inch
V8 correctly would also get tri-power. So you'll love unbolting the
air grabber at every car show just to showcase the triple set of
Rochester dual-barrel carburetors. It fires up eagerly like a car
that was carefully restored, and the dual exhaust gives a nice
tune. You get full control over this classic with the four-speed
manual transmission. This one is built to be a better all-around
cruiser, and so they upgraded it in subtle ways. The front brakes
are now modern discs, and the rear end is a stout Ford 9-inch unit.
And those classic salt flat style wheels are a modern 18-inch size
to fit ultra-grippy ZR-rated tires. Plus, power steering, power
brakes, and an overall confident driving feeling make this sharp
classic an excellent cruiser.
This is a tidy, distinct, and sought-after classic coupe. So when
it also has been done to such a high standard, you know you need to
take this one home. Call today!!!
