1960 Chevrolet Impala

Launched for 1958, the Impala first signified Chevrolet’s glamorous new 2-door hardtop model. Following the one-year-only Impala body style for 1958, more flamboyant “Jet Age" styling came for 1959, followed by a slightly more restrained design with all-new body panels used for 1960.

Built during the fourth week of July 1960, this Impala Sport coupe is fully restored and looking great with a color change to Roman Red paint with a Cameo White roof finish over a correct-for-1960 Red and While cloth and vinyl interior. The Impala’s sound, solid, and straight body features proper gaps and shut lines, with the hood, doors, and trunk lid all opening and closing properly. The paint finish, chrome and stainless bright trim are all excellent with obvious high-quality workmanship. The Impala’s eye-catching interior is simply outstanding, presented in correct and complete OEM condition with a split-back front bench seat. The trunk is similarly well restored and finished, including a factory style plaid floor mat. Features, options, and accessories include a factory AM radio with dual rear antennae, dual sun visors, and the Impala’s futuristic two-tone steering wheel. Red and black loop-pile carpeting is protected by Impala-scripted floor mats. Power is delivered by Chevrolet’s legendary 348 ci “W-head" engine featuring correct “Tri-Power" triple two-barrel carburetors, a correct AC air cleaner, and chrome rocker covers, breathing out through a great-sounding dual exhaust system. Underneath, the Impala features the correct suspension and driveline, plus a newer fuel tank. Correct 4-wheel power drum brakes and power steering provide cruising ease, enhanced by a modern 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission. Proper steel wheels mount full full-size wheel covers and period style wide whitewall tires. Delivering plenty of curb appeal, this 1960 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe is ready to show and enjoy, standing as an outstanding example of Chevrolet’s success formula at the turn of the 1960s. Appraised value of $125,000.
