Starting in 1960, the Chevrolet Impala became the best-selling automobile in the United States and held that position for the next decade. From 1958 until 1966, Impala sales were in excess of 13 million units, more than any other full-size car in the history of the automobile. Looking at this 1961 convertible, it is easy to understand the popularity. This exquisite beauty is very special as it is optioned with the big 348 cubic-inch V-8 topped with a four-barrel carburetor. The detailed engine is neatly dressed with a chrome dual inlet air cleaner, and chrome valve covers. Other rare and desirable features include an automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows and power seat. This is reported to be a restored western car with a new top, upholstery, paint and chrome. It is a fantastic example of the very popular and elegant 1961 Impala.
