Description of 1958 Chevrolet Impala Convertible

Large, premium, and powerful, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala convertible is the ultimate 1950s classic. It represents an outstanding drop-top with its correct V8, ornate brightwork, excellent paint, and a detail-oriented restoration.
The '58 Impala is a wish list car for a lot of us. After all, Chevy only made this style for one year, and this was the introduction of the range-topping nameplate. And don't forget, this was General Motor's golden anniversary, too. So with something this important, we're glad they took the time to get it looking so right. The coral-colored paint represents the optimistic 1950s perfectly, and the deep gloss looks terrific in the sunshine. It really lets you know there was a big investment in restoring this convertible later in life. The body panels have uniform gaps; the doors close with confidence; and the white convertible top looks terrific. So this makes a lasting first impression with both enthusiasts and just lovers of style. And we know you noticed the brightwork. The intricate full-width grille, full-length side spear, and curvaceous trim that runs the whole rear end until it helps form the tailfins - it's all complete on this distinct Impala. Even the details are great, too. Factory-style items like the wheel covers and whitewall tires meet classic upgrade like fender skirts and a continental kit all to make sure this looks like a true 1950s cruiser.
With the flip of a switch the roof powers down. The exterior's coral color returns inside, which is great on a convertible like this where people can easily see the full uniform appearance inside and out. The bright seats have a crisp presentation of a nice investment, and they get the Impala's cool tri-tone cloth insert that breaks up the sea of coral. This is a full-sized Chevy, and so it's no trouble to carry everyone in style and comfort. There's even a well-integrated AM/FM digital tuner with CD changer so that you can give them upgraded driving music. But no matter how many people are along for the ride, you're going to love the time-warp style feeling from behind the wheel. The premium Impala had one of the most stylish steering wheel designs of the era, and it's even color-matched to the car. It gives you a clear view to the artful wraparound dash and a speedometer that's as long at the horizon.
Another reason why we love this '58 Impala is because it was the first time big block power found its way into the production cars. The casting date confirms this a year-correct block for the car, and the Rochester four-barrel carb is even the correct era. It has a true classic-style presentation from the big air grabber to the generator. But if you look closer, you'll spot worthwhile upgrades like the Pertronix coil and electric fan that help keep this classic a nice cruiser in modern times. And the dual exhaust with glasspack mufflers gives a subtle but strong sound. This is truly a smooth full-size Impala, and so you'll also appreciate nice driving features, like the Powerglide automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with upgraded front discs.
Complete with owner's manual, a convertible is always the more expensive and rarer car when new. So to find a nicely restored version from such a significant year means this is a true cut-above vintage drop-top. Call today!!!
