1958 Chevrolet Impala Coupe
Car History
The 1958 Chevrolet Impala was a full-size car built by Chevrolet. It was Chevrolet's popular flagship passenger car and considered a top-of-the-line Bel Air hardtop and distinguished from other models by its symmetrical triple taillights.
The Impala was introduced in 1958 as a new, upmarket, sporty trim package. Unique to this model were its six taillights, which set it apart from lower trim levels with only two lights on a side, and this classic styling cue would become its trademark.
We have a 1958 Chevrolet Impala here at Adventure Classics that was restored and beautifully finished in the original color of Rio Red (verified on the Trim Tag #923) with the original color of your interior in Gray, Black and Red Cloth & Vinyl (also verified on the Trim Tag #854) and the original engine (verified by the engine cast and stamped numbers showing it to be an HA engine.)
Engine & Drivetrain
Pop the hood and you will see the optional Tri-Power carburetor setup on its 348 cubic inch engine that came from the factory with 280 horsepower, that was Chevrolet's first-ever big-block V8.
It is the original engine verified by the engine cast and stamped numbers showing it to be an HA engine, built 62458 and looks as it did from the factory with the iconic valve covers, intake with the Tri-Power carbs, factory correct black dual-snorkel air cleaner assembly, and factory cast iron exhaust headers.
The engine resides in a very clean and detailed engine compartment and has a 3-speed automatic transmission backing it up as it rides on wide-white wall tires and has factory spinner hubcaps that looks period correct with the fender skirts, dual exterior mirrors and dual exhaust.
Interior
The restored interior is done and has an all new look with the bucket seats upholstered in red/black, grey tri-color as the rest of the interior is impeccable with its matching color scheme continued with the door panels, rear seat, red/grey factory steering wheel, dash with all the correct factory gauges, radio, and all new matching red carpet.
Exterior
Our Impala has a paint job on it better than when it was new. It covers the body and looks great on the dual headlamps, deeply sculptured rear fenders, Impala's three taillights each side, crossed-flag insignias above the side moldings, as well as bright rocker moldings and dummy rear-fender scoops.
Conclusion
The 1958 Chevrolet Impala models, like the one we have here at Adventure Classics, were longer, lower, and wider than its predecessors.
This great restored 1958 is a numbers matching, original engine that has been verified and has an excellent arrow straight body with one of the hottest color combinations of red over red you will ever find. It has all the flash, looks, and attention to detail you will ever find.
