Chevrolet created a new subseries in 1958, and was named the Impala. Also new for this year was the, now desirable, 348 cubic inch V-8 engine. This particular Chevrolet Impala was rescued in 2001 and was subjected to a meticulous and complete restoration. The sheetmetal on the car was either replaced, repaired or re-created; again using sheetmetal. The whole suspension system was refurbished and brought back to factory standards including new brake parts and stainless steel brake lines.

Under the hood is the much desired 348-cid V-8 engine. The engine was also refurbished with new gaskets, bearings, freeze plugs and piston rings. Backing this properly built engine is a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Power options equipped include steering and brakes (front disc). The exterior of this Impala is presented with Tropical Turquoise paint, a California one-piece front bumper, excellent brightwork, steel wheels, factory wheel covers and a powered white convertible top. The interior has been fully restored and is presented with wonderful tri-tone upholstery.

An electric fuel pump has been added for added reliability.
