Lot #990 - The Impala was introduced in 1958 as the top option level for Bel Air coupes and convertibles. The "whole new look" '58 was Bill Mitchell's pinnacle vehicle in the Chevrolet lineup. Mitchell, then heir-apparent to famed designer Harley Earl, sought to introduce "curves where before there were lines", and achieved this in dramatic fashion. Unique to the model were its six taillights, a classic styling cue that became its trademark. For this one-year-only styling, no automotive surface was left untouched or unchanged. The Impala convertible was the most expensive Chevrolet available in 1958. This extremely well-equipped '58 Impala convertible has benefited from a complete rotisserie restoration that was performed with no expense spared. It is finished in Cameo Coral with the correct coral, silver and black interior. It features the rare 348 big block engine with Tri-power, producing 280hp. Other options include Turbo-glide transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows, dual antennas, Continental Kit with a three piece bumper and much more.
