Chevrolet Impala became a grown-up in 1959 when the GM brand decided to promote it to a stand-alone series. Impala came to life in 1956 as a concept, with mass production beginning two years later when it debuted as the top Bel Air version.
Impala rapidly became a hit, selling better than even Chevrolet imagined. It gained series status in 1959, turning the Bel Air into plan B for many buyers. It eventually became the best-selling Chevrolet, spearheading sales for many decades.
Impala also overhauled Chevy's full-size lineup, turning it into a money-making machine. Models like Impala, Bel Air, and Biscayne propelled the GM brand to the number one spot in terms of sales in the United States, finally helping the company beat Ford after many years of dominance.
A 1959 Chevrolet Impala flexing a fantastic shape is now looking for a new owner on Craigslist, with the garage in charge of selling it, claiming the vehicle was previously saved after 40 years in a warehouse. The excellent condition is the result of a frame-off restoration completed in 2007, with the odometer now indicating just a little over 3,000 miles.
The Impala is a new car, and the 283 engine under the hood starts, runs, and drives like a new mill. It's ready to take you anywhere, though considering the low mileage, you might only want to take the car out for a short drive on sunny weekends.
The Gothic Gold paint looks incredible, and the owner has properly cared for the car after the 2007 restoration. You obviously won't find any rust on this Impala, as the metal exhibits a perfect shape. The undersides are spotless, too, as the floors have been cleaned, with the garage explaining on Craigslist that some parts have also been painted.
The interior is as great as the rest of the car, with the original Copper cloth and vinyl upholstery looking mesmerizing. Everything is in place, and the dash isn't cut, the seats are flawless, and the cabin looks like the one of a new car. All '59 Impala parts are still in place, but the owner added front disk brakes.
As you'd imagine, this Impala needs nothing, so its place is rather in someone's collection rather than in a random garage where the owner wouldn't be able to take proper care of it.
Unfortunately, the seller did not share any pricing information, so if you're interested in the car, you must contact the garage and discuss further details. However, don't expect the car to come cheap. An all-original Impala restored to factory specs can sell for more than $50,000, though you'll have to check the vehicle in person before determining its value more accurately.
