Chevrolet created a new subseries in 1958, and was named the
Impala. Also new for this year was the, now desirable, 348 cubic
inch V-8 engine. This particular Chevrolet Impala was rescued in
2001 and was subjected to a meticulous and complete restoration.
The sheetmetal on the car was either replaced, repaired or
re-created; again using sheetmetal. The whole suspension system was
refurbished and brought back to factory standards including new
brake parts and stainless steel brake lines.
Under the hood is the much desired 348-cid V-8 engine. The engine
was also refurbished with new gaskets, bearings, freeze plugs and
piston rings. Backing this properly built engine is a two-speed
Powerglide automatic transmission. Power options equipped include
steering and brakes (front disc). The exterior of this Impala is
presented with Tropical Turquoise paint, a California one-piece
front bumper, excellent brightwork, steel wheels, factory wheel
covers and a powered white convertible top. The interior has been
fully restored and is presented with wonderful tri-tone
upholstery.
An electric fuel pump has been added for added reliability.
