1958 Chevrolet Impala Convertible #Video

This 1958 Chevrolet Impala Convertible is a beautifully restored first-year Impala Convertible with southern history. While the American auto industry faced major challenges heading into 1958, including an impending economic downturn and labor issues, the American Big Three continued to release some of its most iconic designs of all time. One of those groundbreaking designs that has stood the test of time was the Chevrolet Impala, which was originally released as a top trim level option package for Chevrolet's top-of-the-line Bel Air. From its entry-level Del Ray to its brand-new top-of-the-line Impala, Chevrolet completely redesigned its entire full-size passenger car line in 1958. This particular '58 Impala Convertible comes to us from the collection of an overseas collector who purchased this car from Texas-based collector. Powering this '58 Impala is a 348 V8 engine with Tri-Power consisting of a trifecta of dual barrel carburetors that together generated 280 horsepower when new. The Tri-Power 348 V8 is backed by a Powerglide automatic transmission and it has a dual exhaust setup. It's also loaded with fantastic options like power steering and upgraded power front disc braking system complete with a modern chrome brake booster and chrome dual master cylinder setup. The white vinyl power convertible top goes up and down with ease and is operated with the simple flick of a switch. Riding on a set of wide whitewall radial tires, each paired with a Spinner-style full wheel cover, this '58 Impala Convertible has a fantastic look and even better ride cruising down the road. This 1958 Impala also comes equipped with a rear-mounted color-matched continental kit, color-matched fender skirts, dual chrome outside mirrors and fender-mounted dual chrome spotlights, all of which further add to the classic 50s allure of the car.
