Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present the 1969
Chevrolet Impala remains a standout of the late "Coke-bottle"
styling era, characterized by its substantial 119-inch wheelbase
and a redesigned front bumper that wraps around the grille. This
specific two-door Sport Coupe, finished in the iconic Butternut
Yellow (Code 40), offers a bright, period-correct aesthetic that
highlights the car's sweeping roofline and flared rear fenders.
Underneath the hood, this configuration pairs the reliability of a
small-block (327ci) V8 with a rare three-speed manual transmission,
shifted via the steering column. Often referred to as a
"three-on-the-tree," this setup is a nostalgic throwback to a time
when full-size Chevrolets could be ordered as straightforward,
robust cruisers.

Key Features and Aesthetic
Body Style: The 2-door hardtop "Sport Coupe" profile, featuring the
formal roofline and signature triple-unit taillights integrated
into the rear bumper.
Color: Butternut Yellow, a pale, creamy hue that was one of GM's
most popular colors in the late 1960s, providing a striking
contrast against chrome trim.

driving experience that is increasingly difficult to find in
surviving collector models, which are more commonly equipped with
Powerglide or Turbo-Hydramatic automatics.
Interior: Featuring a full bench seat to accommodate the column
shifter, providing the classic "living room on wheels" feel for
which the Impala is famous.
