West Coast Classics presents are proud to present an exceptional
example of this 1961 Chevrolet Impala 2 door Convertible with the
283 c.i. V8 engine matched to a 2 speed automatic transmission
finished in its original 'Ermine White' factory color (code 936)
paint and original 'Red amp; Ivory' (trim code 874) interior and
original Black color power operated soft top with 14" wheels with
chrome hubcaps, Coker whitewall tires, four wheel hydraulic drum
brakes, fenders skirts, power steering and push button AM radio.
The 1961 full-size Chevrolet model was totally revamped for the new
year. As with all other full-size GM lines, the new cars finally
finished with the knee-banger, wrap around windshields and tailfins
and shed some of the length and width that had been popular in the
prior three years. The front end sported a full width grille with
dual headlamps mounted at each end with the turn signals and
parking lamps mounted above the headlamps. The car boasted all the
regular Bel Air equipment plus Nylon pattern cloth seats, electric
clock, full carpeting and dual backup lights.The Impala was
restyled on the existing GM B platform for 1961. The new body
styling was more trim and boxy than the 1958-60 models. Sport Coupe
models featured a 'bubbleback' roof line style for '61 and a unique
model, the 2-door pillared sedan, was available for 1961 only. It
was rarely ordered and a scarce collectible today. The rare Super
Sport (SS) option debuted for 1961 and was retired in 1968. The
1962 model featured new 'C' pillar styling for all models except
the 4-door hardtop 'Sport Sedan.' Sport Coupe models now featured
the 'convertible roof' styling, shared with other GM 'B' full size
hardtop coupes.This car must be seen and driven to be fully
appreciated - the engine is extremely strong and responsive, the
transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the engine
temperature always remains cool. The car's re-paint is of a very
high quality and in very fine shape and the car has very few
flaws.In summary, this is a wonderful example of a very striking
1961 Chevrolet Impala 2 Door Convertible in turn-key ready daily
driving and daily head-turning condition, most definitely one very
collectible and attractive all American classic car!
