1958 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe

This 1958 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe is a genuinely original survivor from one of the most celebrated years in Chevrolet history — the debut season of a nameplate that would become an American icon. As Chevrolet’s new top-of-the-line model, the 1958 Impala arrived with dramatic, one-year-only styling: a sweeping roofline, distinctive side trim, and the now-famous triple taillights that came to define the marque. Offered only as a Sport Coupe and Convertible in its inaugural year, this is one of the most recognizable and collectible Chevrolets ever produced. Showing just 83,112 original miles and finished in attractive Rio Red, this rust-free, honestly preserved coupe retains its factory character while remaining a genuine pleasure to drive. For the discerning collector who values provenance, rarity, and authenticity, this first-year Impala deserves serious consideration.
