With the Impala now a model that had to survive on its own, the car ended up being offered in four different body styles for the 1959 and 1960 model years, including 2-door convertible and hardtop and 4-door hardtop and sedan.
The engine lineup included several choices, including a straight-six 235 (3.9-liter) and two V8s, namely a 283ci (4.6-liter) and 348 (5.7-liter).
Needless to say, the 348 was the big star of the show, being offered with multiple outputs between 250 and 320 horsepower. At the same time, a 350 hp version was available with triple two-barrel carburetors.
The 348 big-block unit is the one powering the Impala you’re looking at here, though we’re pretty sure there’s something else that’ll catch your attention first. It’s the car s stunning look, as this Impala is all shiny and exquisite, looking like it just left the factory.
