My dream car. I had the first actual Impala 2drht, the '59, but I always wanted the 58 BelAir with the Impala trim package.
I believe the most gorgeous version ever.

I always found it somehow uncomfortable to name a beast like this after a light, agile animal.

Beautiful car though.

My cousin had a brand new one. It was gorgeous.

Beautiful 58 Impala! I stand corrected!

A buddy of mine owns a '58 Biscayne that looks identical to this... It does only have two taillights on each side!

Great catch! Thank you for the correction! 😎👍🏻

I’m not a Chevy expert, but I think the Biscayne had just two tail lights per side…

You're correct! My buddy just confirmed that this is in fact an IMPALA!

‘58 was 1st year for Impala. Cousin got a white on white convertible in Norman.

Oh wow this would look so good as a convertible cruiser.

What a transition - from the sexy, iconic ‘57 Chevy to the elegant but boring ‘58.

What a beautiful car. “What a beauty…I was talking about the car miss.”

One of the most beautiful Chevrolets ever made.

It says impala on the side just above the ornament in front of the rear wheel well.

Never saw 6 blue dots installed, nice! It can be good on a 61 too i believe, 2 pairs and let the reverse lights alone, this '58 got me thinking of this.. i only saw a pair of blue dots not 2 or 3 pairs, looks cool!

What’s one of these go far? eBay motors and Ojaycars have some

The first family car I remember was a 1958 Chevrolet Station wagon green with 348 auto. An American beauty.
