1958 Chevrolet Impala Bel Air

1958 Chevrolet Impala Bel Air Marvelous First Year Bel Air Impala Convertibl Description

Debuting in 1958, the Impala was an instant smash hit and helped to propel the bowtie brand to number one in manufacturing with this new model, accounting for 15% of total Chevrolet production. The 1958 Chevrolet Bel Airs owed nothing to the previous year, from their four headlights to rolled and lowered rear fins, to the all-new bodywork and curvaceous interior cabin. Introduced as the top of the line Bel Air hardtops the Impala also featured the innovative X Frame which provided greater structural rigidity and resistance to twisting forces and, at the same time, permitted the lowering of the car without sacrificing space. This Snowcrest White Bel Air Impala convertible is in superb condition and is a great representation of the one-year-only body style. The recipient of a comprehensive frame off restoration, every inch of the full-size Chevrolet has been lovingly refinished. The laser-straight body work accentuates the gleaming chrome molding and trim which is all complete. Also, the terrific spinner hubcaps look just right with the wide white-wall tires. Power is compliments of the 348-cubic inch V8 engine, first used in 1958, with 4-barrrel carburetion producing a healthy 250 horsepower. This smooth running Turbo-Thrust V8 engine is connected to the reliable three-speed manual transmission. The interior features bench seating with red/gray/black interior and was equipped from the factory with air conditioning. Other options include power steering, Wonderbar radio, traffic light view, tissue dispenser, and fender skirts with exhaust ports. A 1958 Impala Bel Air is a unique find, especially one this nice. Don't miss your chance to own this exceptional full-size Chevrolet gem. ?Stock Number: HC5121 VIN: F58J226487 Miles: 1,081 miles showing on the odometer (this vehicle will be sold as mileage EXEMPT) Engine: Period correct 348 CI V8 with 250 Horsepower Engine Block Number: 3751872 (1958 only, 348 CI) Engine Stamp Pad: T5I9F (Tonowanda Assembly Plant, May 19th, 250HP) Transmission: Three-Speed Manual (8743368 - E198 - May 19, 1958) Trim Tag Info: Style 58-1867 (1958 2-Door Convertible Impala), Body Assembly Plant Code L (Lansing, MI), Paint Code 936 (Snowcrest White), Trim Code 855 (Gray, Black and Red Cloth and Vinyl) Equipment: Four-Barrel Carburetor, Power Steering, Three-Speed Manual Transmission, Air Conditioning, Wonderbar Radio, Traffic Light Viewer, Tissue Dispenser, B.F.
