Chevrolet Impala 348 V8 1958
General description :
Description
This 1958 Chevrolet Impala is an extra-sleek V8 classic. But what you'll love is the journey to get to today includes a Texas barn find tale that was fully restored to be vintage in all the right places (like the V8) and upgraded where you really want it (like the overdrive transmission, power windows, and A/C interior.)
Every time you take this hardtop out in the sunshine it's going to impress you. The glossy black paint with white roof and coordinating whitewall tires has a radiance about it. This glow is because there has been a nice recent investment in a full restoration. This car was sold new in Amarillo, and it appears to have lived there for nearly a half-century. The majority of that may have even been off the road considering it went unregistered for decades. When it finally came time to have a new owner, it was taken to Arizona for a full professional restoration. The car is a visual delight with awesome details everywhere you look. Check out the chrome grille that runs from end to end that leads the way for this lower, wider, and longer '58 Chevy. And all the panels line up nicely so that the full-length side trim appears like an unbroken line. There are also all the best classic cruiser pieces, like dual aerials, rear fender skirts, and a continental kit. It's amazing something so intricate would be a one-year-only design. But it's this rarity and distinction that keep the '58 a sought-after coupe in the market.
Tri-tone interiors were this Impala's calling card, and the white, black, and turquoise is a nicely restored example of a factory-correct package. Everything from the bright insert in the door panel, to the tight headliner appears nicely presented. There's even a collapsible armrest so that the rear passengers can make the most out of this full-size coupe. Up front there are the classic pieces like the bright dash and artful steering wheel. Because this is a rare power windows car, you don't even need to leave the driver's seat to show off the full pillarless hardtop profile. And thanks to air conditioning you can do this in the summertime and remain feeling as cool as you look!
We cherish the 1958 cars not only for their exclusive looks, but also because they introduced us to big block power in the passenger cars. The 348 cubic-inch V8 is an instant standout with the bold orange radiating around the clean and dark engine bay. And as you look closer, you can see the restoration was all about making everything look fresh while staying as correct as possible, right down to the Delco generator. In fact, this is a year-correct motor that shows all the right signs of being original to the car! There are two ways to look at this setup. It's a true all-day cruiser with power steering and strong power brakes, and it has even been updated to a 700R4 transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. Or if you want to get extra attention on the boulevard, you can just remove the caps on the cutout side pipes and let this big block really bring the attention-grabbing thunder. No matter which way you motor, you're going to likely be putting a mirror under this one, because the comprehensive restoration even made sure the undercarriage was extra tidy.
The sale comes complete with the original bill of sale, maintenance records, and service manuals. This is the awesomely restored single-year Impala that is filled with all the history and features you really want. Don't let this total package classic slip away, call today!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
