I am looking for any information especially pictures regarding this 1958 Custom Chevrolet convertible "Ala Impala". Thanks for looking. The car is from IL and was a mild Custom from new with the major modifications done in the early 1960's. It was originally black then painted Candy Red. The car was shown at the World of Wheels in I believe 1963 & 1964 after which it was stored in a heated garage for many years. The first owner lowered the car, installed a tube grille, nosed & decked it in 1958. He enlisted in the army and sold the Impala to the second owner in 1959. The second owner and two of his friends did all of the subsequent work to the Impala. The 58 Pontiac bumper bought new was installed in 1960 and the 54 grille was installed a few years later. I bought the Impala from the second owner and it is in exceptional condition having been properly cared for from new. If you can help me please text: (626) 755-6568 Thank you, Andy
Heck, I was reading the tale of it, and as I was scrolling down I saw the car, kept looking at the pics! Didn’t read all the way through I guess.
It would help to know it was from Brookfield Illinois. Illinois is a big state from the north to the south.
Look at this thread....67 pages of old car show pictures https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/vintage-hot-rod-shows-picture-thread.285678/
The most outstanding feature that stands out is the 58 Pontiac grille. That`s when it was being shown.
