TRI-POWER 348 V8, POWERGLIDE, DUAL EXHAUST, PWR BRAKES, HARD TO FIND '58 IMP!!

We're seeing a shift in the market, ith Tri-Five Chevys cooling off and the bigger, ore substantial-looking '58s heating up. This 1958 Chevrolet Impala hardtop is the ideal car for cruising: flashy, ell-sorted, nd great to look at, ut not so perfect that you need a trailer. a 348 with Tri-Power, ou'll love the way it drives so much that you'll never want to get out from behind the wheel.Bright Rio Red is the right choice on a '58. Sure, hey made other colors, ut if you're going big, here's no point in trying to be subtle about it. The one-year-only styling has aged extremely well, nd this top-of-the-line Chevy looks more like a Cadillac than an affordable everyman's car. From the big grille to the newly introduced quad headlights to the angular roof line, his car gets just about everything right. It was restored more than a few years ago and it's been driven, ut it presents extremely well with only a few small flaws that are certainly in line with its age and price. The doors open and close like the proverbial bank vault, hut lines are tight, nd the bright white top makes the car look long and sleek (which it is). Of course, omeone spent a rather large sum of cash on the chrome and bright work, ll of which remains in fantastic condition, nd this car sports an optional set of dual antennas on the rear deck, hich always makes them look sporty. You're going to get noticed in this car!The '58 Chevys are special for more than their looks; the interior with its tri-tone upholstery remains one of the most distinctive looks of the late '50s. You'd thing that red, lack, nd silver would be garish, ut in this Impala, t works beautifully, ith snug-fitting seat covers, ed carpets with a factory-style weave, nd that big steering wheel with the chrome insert. Sure, t's as flashy as the bodywork, ut it's a great look that will never go out of style. Aside from a Pioneer AM/FM/cassette head unit, t's completely stock inside and like the exterior, t's been nicely maintained since the restoration was finished. Everything seems to be operational, ncluding the gauges, nd back seat occupants will be delighted to see that neat lift-up center arm rest. The door panels are beautifully designed with anodized panels and red-toned armrests that look like jet exhausts, nd the trunk is correctly finished with a rubber mat, ull-sized spare tire, nd jack assembly.We believe the 348 cubic inch V8 under the hood is the car's original engine, ut in 1958, umbers-matching wasn't a thing. It's topped by three 2-barrel carburetors, aking it one of the best-performing cars you could buy. It's very correctly restored, ith that big black air cleaner hiding the Tri-Power induction and Chevy Orange on the block, nd you'll note that the distinctive W-shaped valve covers are painted rather than chromed, hich is correct. Also note the factory-installed generator/power steering unit, hich is a pretty rare find, s well as original-style power brakes on the firewall. It starts easily and pulls the car around with a big dose of low-end torque, nd the 2-speed PowerGlide automatic is a reliable servant. A burbling dual exhaust has just enough attitude to remind everyone that this was a hot car back in the day and the restored chassis shows evidence of use but no signs of trouble. Fresh G78-14 wide whitewall tires look right and give the car a proper '50s ride.Nicely maintained and ready to enjoy, his is a smart buy that should continue to appreciate while you enjoy it.
