1960 Chevrolet Impala Hardtop

This 1960 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe hardtop captures the final year of Chevrolet’s dramatic jet-age design era, with a pillarless bubbletop roofline, sweeping wraparound rear window, and horizontal chrome-trimmed tailfins. It’s a silhouette collectors have prized for decades. Built as a driver rather than a trailer queen, it pairs that historic body with a GM 350 crate engine and a 700R4 overdrive automatic for modern reliability and relaxed highway cruising. The rich maroon exterior flows into a clean gray leather cabin, and the maroon factory steering wheel ties the two together. Look closely and you’ll see real care throughout, from the detailed engine bay to the solid undercarriage. Whether you’re adding to a growing collection or looking for a classic you can enjoy on the open road, this Impala delivers timeless style with confidence behind the wheel.
