1958 Chevrolet Impala 4-door Hardtop
Top of the line full-sized Chevrolet for 1958 was the Impala range, available in a number of body styles, here shown as the 4-door hardtop.
Sharing much of the styling with the other 1958 full-sized Chevrolets (Bel Air, Biscayne, Delray and wagons), the Impala included the best of everything. Engines, trim, features and comforts were all premium content. The Impala also made the most on the new, for 1958 only, Chevrolet body. Clean style Hardtop or Convertible bodywork, extra chrome trim, and soon-to-be-trademark 3-segment rear lights (missing for 1959 only), the Impala was the ulitimate late-50's American dream car on wheels.
The 1958 Chvrolet full-sized models were the last to be featured on the smaller A-body frame. The succeding 1959 models moved to the wider Corporate B-body, shared with all the other Divisions. This made way for the new 'Intermediates', smaller, though still large cars, intended to fight the imported competition.
