1958 Chevrolet Impala Onyx Black

Styling was radically different for the 1958 Chevrolet lineup compared to the previous-year’s models. At the top of the model hierarchy was the Impala, which was offered as either a convertible or a Sport Coupe like this handsomely restored, award-winning 1958 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe (model 1847) that was repainted the correct code 900 Onyx Black. The bold d vinyl interior (with striped tri-color fabric inserts) makes a strong visual impact, as does the first passenger car application of the “W” engine, in the form of a 348-cubic inch V8. The transmission is the venerable two-speed Powerglide automatic.
