The 1960 Chevrolet Impala has a coordinated color combo, plenty of vintage details, and a nice small block economical V8. So it makes for an appealing package on an already unique and iconic bubble top 4 door coupe.
This was a car to symbolize a new era. You instantly knew it because there was a jet zooming up each side of this coupe. And the bright white streak against the vibrant red really looks like a speedy rocket vapor trail. It's a feature you only saw in 1960, and it's not the only rarity on this car. The bubble top era was a short one, but we seek out these smooth hardtops that have skinny pillars and curved glass for both the front and rear and pillar less. And while the front end looks bold, we all really know this one earns its iconic status in the rear. It's amazing how Chevy was able to form the sheet metal so that it cuts into the design, wraps around the rear, and creates those amazing horizontal tailfins over the hallmark three tail light design. The total package looks clean, complete, and vintage. And with a car show-level shine is likely there is not another one as attractive in Europe. Several best of show awards won . I like the beautiful cruiser style of this icon.
The early 1960s were all about great color coordination inside and out, so the red and white interior seems like an extension of the exterior's theme for a very cool uniform feeling. I especially like the checker pattern inserts on the seats and doors. They just look like they look as all-American as the burger wrapping at your favorite car hop. The full package has all the right classic features, like the artful steering wheel, sporty pod-style gauges, and well-done correct-style carpeting. They even left the original AM radio on display. It all gives you the right cruiser vibe, and the added dash readouts remind you that what's under the hood is right for a cruiser, too.
The engine bay has the right classic style with details like the ram's horn manifolds and fitted modern alternator which helps the electrics. Add in the other great driving features like the three-speed automatic, power steering, and A/ C and you have a hardtop made for cruising.
