1958 Chevrolet Impala Convertible 348 CI, Automatic

At first glance this 1958 Chevrolet Impala convertible looks like a perfectly stock, well-equipped as-original example, and in fact it is, with one extremely subtle exception: its luminous Black Cherry paint, the single custom touch in an otherwise factory-faithful frame-off restoration. It’s a great choice for the Impala, providing the perfect base for its generous chrome and brightwork, to say nothing of the correct Red vinyl interior with its multi-toned seat inserts and brushed aluminum trim; even the steering wheel and lower dash are painted in Black Cherry to further unify the color scheme, which is finished with a Black power soft top and tonneau cover. Fans of the first-year Impala will also like the extra flash provided by full-size spinner hubcaps, chrome sill trim, faux rear quarter exhaust vents, door handle nail guards and twin antennas. A 348 CI Tri Power equipped V-8 with dual exhaust supplies power to a Powerglide 2-speed automatic for spirited performance aided by optional power steering.
