1958 was the year when Chevrolet made one of the best decisions in its history. After years of insisting on the Bel Air, hoping it would put the brand back on the map and steal Ford's king crown, the GM brand launched the Impala, a model that first smiled in front of the audience as a concept in 1956.
Impala rapidly became a hit. It launched in 1958 as a Bel Air version, but thanks to its impressive sales from the first months of availability, Chevrolet promoted it to a stand-alone series in 1959.
As a result, the second-generation Impala came to be in 1959, embracing a separate path from the Bel Air and having a clear mission: to help Chevrolet dominate car sales in the US. Impala rapidly achieved its purpose, propelling Chevy's sales to record levels. In 1965, it became the first car in the United States after WWII to sell more than one million units in a single year.
A 1959 Impala that comes with very few specifics is now trying to convince someone online to take it home and park it in a garage.
The car flexes several intriguing tidbits, but at the same time, it also lacks essential data that could make potential buyers (collectors especially) walk away.
First, the vehicle looks great, and there's no sign of rust. The floors look solid, and the trunk pan is spotless. In terms of metal, you can barely find something to complain about on this Impala, but you should still go and inspect the car in person before committing to a purchase.
The interior is clean and flawless, too, with no rips or tears on the seats. Everything looks great in the cabin, so the Impala is a gorgeous classic inside and outside.
The car doesn't disappoint when you open the hood, either. Powered by a V8 engine, the car is ready for the road, flexing just 41,500 miles. The seller insists on the mileage, so chances are these are the original miles.
It's unclear if this Impala has ever been rebuilt or repainted, but I wouldn't be surprised if the car is no longer entirely original. For example, it now comes with front bucket seats, but eBay seller kefra-8709 says they can reinstall the original seats if you don't like this modification. As a result, I believe the car could come with other changes, too, so make sure you ask more questions in this regard.
The bidding starts at $32,000, and the same value triggers the Buy It Now option to secure the car without a fight. Interested buyers can see the car in person in Silver Springs, Florida, and considering the low mileage, they should also bring a trailer to take it home without adding more miles to the odometer.
