Gateway Classic Cars of Atlanta is proud to present this beautiful
1958 Chevrolet Impala. The Chevrolet Impala is a full-sized car
built by Chevrolet for model years 1958 to 1985, 1994 to 1996, and
2000 to 2020. For its debut in 1958, the Impala was distinguished
from other models by its symmetrical triple taillights. The Impala
name was first used for the full-sized 1956 General Motors Motorama
show car that bore Corvette-like design cues, especially the
grille. It was named Impala after the graceful African antelope,
and this animal became the car's logo. For 1958, GM was promoting
their 50th year of production, and introduced anniversary models
for each brand; Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and
Chevrolet.[13] The 1958 models shared a common appearance on the
top models for each brand; Cadillac Eldorado Seville, Buick Limited
Riviera, Oldsmobile Starfire 98, Pontiac Bonneville Catalina, and
the Chevrolet Bel-Air Impala. From the windshield (A) pillar
rearward, the 1958 Bel Air Impala differed structurally from the
lower-priced Chevrolet models. Hardtops had a slightly shorter
greenhouse and longer rear deck. The 1958 Chevrolet models were
longer, lower, and wider than their predecessors.[14] The 1958
model year was the first with dual headlamps. The tailfins of the
1957 were replaced by deeply sculptured rear fenders. Impalas had
three taillights each side, while lesser models had two and wagons
just one. The Impalas included crossed-flag insignias above the
side moldings, as well as bright rocker moldings and dummy
rear-fender scoops. The standard perimeter-type frame was
abandoned, replaced by a unit with rails laid out in the form of an
elongated "X." Chevrolet claimed that the new frame offered
increased torsional rigidity and allowed for a lower placement of
the passenger compartment. This was a transitional step between
traditional construction and the later fully unitized body/chassis,
the body structure was strengthened in the rocker panels and
firewall. Options on this 1958 Chevrolet Impala include: AM/FM
Radio, Air Conditioning, Hub Caps, Tilt Wheel, Power Brakes, Power
Steering, Radial Wheels, White Walls, and Cloth Interior. This 1958
