This stunning 1959 Chevrolet Impala Convertible received a full body-off restoration in the hands of a previous owner, and it is now one of the finest examples to be found. Countless new old stock parts were utilized, and all of the original sheet metal is believed to have been retained. The restoration began only after 15 years of collecting Genuine GM parts and accessories, which included lenses, rocker moldings, hubcaps, spinners, a grille bar, fender bullets, and aluminum trim, all to serve as correct additions to a worthy Impala. As such, the desirable Continental kit is not a reproduction but a completely restored original package. Additionally, the car features numerous power accessories, including power windows, a power bench seat, power steering, power brakes, and a power top, and it is also fitted with a padded dash, a Wonderbar radio, and dual antennas.

The 348 Tri-Power engine lying at the heart of the totally restored drivetrain offers remarkable performance for trouble-free driving. An inspection of the undercarriage and suspension show that all parts have been restored or replaced and correctly detailed, with its bare metal parts coated to prevent future corrosion. Important upgrades to the Impala include a polished stainless-steel dual-muffler system and stainless-steel gas and brake lines, and its chrome plating and stainless trim parts remain in excellent condition. Finally, the car’s bodywork was finished in beautiful Roman Red, and it used the best materials available, to further guarantee that this beautiful Impala Convertible will retain its current condition for years to come with proper care and maintenance.

This car’s numerous power accessories are sure to make it an easy driver, one that is ideal for weekend cruises to local diners and car shows.
