Chevrolet Impala, 1960

Location: Auburn, Indiana

$24,750 USD | Sold

Chevy’s largest cars were now being referred to as “standard or full-size” cars for the first time as 1960 marked the introduction of the compact Corvair to the Chevrolet lineup. Impala returned to its trademark triple taillamps like those first introduced in 1958. Chevy began emphasizing “jet smoothness” as evidenced in the aircraft-inspired side trim with vapor trail used on the Impalas. The division sold 1,148,500 big cars including 204,467 Sport Coupes such as this top-of-the-line Impala. The “bubble top” panoramic glass roof with thin A- and C-pillars was produced for just two years; 1959 and 1960.

This Ermine White coupe features the classic black and white houndstooth interior along with the desirable 348-cid V-8 and automatic transmission. It is also equipped with power steering and brakes, dual antennas, an aftermarket radio/tape deck combination, and aluminum five-spoke American Racing wheels.
