By Dan Chan

A 1958 Chevy Impala is truly one of the all time greatest classic American cars. It started a line of cars that has captured the imaginations of millions of people around the world. In fact, I have yet to find a generation of car lovers that do not appreciate the beautiful design of this old car. It is not a person, but it does have what I call "automobile personality." Once you see it, you never forget it.

There are lots of 1958 Chevy Impalas and other cars for sale at this link.

You can find the 58 Impala that you always been dreaming of on the internet! It is only a click away. I love looking at those old cars and remembering the teenage years dating the girls that loved sitting on the backseat of my 58 Impala. Don't mention it to my wife, but it was the best years of my life.. of course she was part of that as well!

Many a teeneager from the early sixties, like myself, loved to take their sweety out for a spin in the 58 Impala. The drive-ins were great fun, where a guy and a gal could get some real privacy. I remember the first James Bond movie, Dr. No, and a special date I had with my future wife. The windows were a little steamy but we seemed to still catch some of the plot from that famous first movie of the Bond series.

Background of The 58 Impala

Chevy first built the Impala in 1958. It was the elite full-sized car built by General Motors under their Chevrolet division, and boy was it a great car. From the very beginning, the Impala was the most expensive full-size car offered by Chevy. It was in a class of its own.

The 58 Impala was one of the classic cars of the movie American Graffiti. Starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, and Wolfman Jack, the movie American Graffiti featured the 58 Chevy Impala, which is considered one of cinemas great cars. It proved to be the catalyst for 1950s nostalgia during the 70's that led to the TV's hit series, Happy Days.

Fifty eight Chevy Impalas come in a wide spectrum of colors and ways that they have been restored, from the hotrod to a nice original restoration. If you are looking for a project car, it can be found too, but be sure to consider how much time and extra money your are willing to put toward saving a rusting classic. It is well worth the trouble, but you need to decide that yourself. Plenty of these cars can be found online.
