This 1958 Chevrolet Impala Convertible is quite possibly the nicest example we've ever seen. One look at it, and it's easy to see why. Professionally restored in meticulous frame-off fashion, this droptop was rebuilt with a focus on factory originality. Fully repainted in its original Onyx Black exterior, this Impala sports a contrasting Ivory White power top and a mere 2,037 miles on its odometer since it was rebuilt. This car kicks off the Impala legend with some nice cruiser details like rear fender skirts, faux side exit exhaust bezels, dual aerials, and a correct-spec Continental Kit.
Inside, we find a stunning black, grey, and turquoise interior. A split-bench front seat, power-assisted two-spoke steering wheel featuring a Crossed Flags center cap, and column-mounted shifter work harmoniously with the stock-looking dashboard, allowing you to ride in classic style. While the OE-style Wonderbar radio sits in its original place, there is a hidden AM/FM/CD Pioneer head unit tucked away in the glovebox, which allows for the benefit of an original look but the convenience of modern technology.
Under the hood, we find a clean engine bay housing a 348 cubic-inch V-8. The top offering for the first-year Impala, this small block is topped with three two-barrel Carter carburetors that, when new, made an advertised 280 horsepower. That power is funneled through a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission before being sent out through a true dual exhaust and original equipment set of mufflers.
