1959 Chevrolet Impala

Authentically Restored 1959 Impala 348ci Tri-Power V8 4-speed AACA Awards /// More than six decades after its debut, the 1959 Chevrolet Impala continues to define the peak of American fin-era styling. This California-built Bubble Top combines Chevrolet's legendary 348 cubic inch W-series Tri-Power V8 with a desirable Borg-Warner T10 4-speed manual transmission, a Positraction rear axle with 3.55 gears, and the dramatic styling that has made the model one of the most celebrated American automobiles ever produced. Finished in Roman Red over a beautifully restored red interior, the car benefits from a comprehensive frame-off, rotisserie restoration in the '90s, preserving its authentic character while earning AACA Senior honors shortly after completion. Since then, it has remained with the same owner, carefully stored in a climate-controlled garage and maintained as a cherished collector vehicle. Distinctive Bubble Top styling is complemented by California-specific one-piece bumpers, polished stainless trim, restored brightwork, full-size Chevrolet wheel covers, and new Coker American Classic wide whitewall tires, while the meticulously detailed engine compartment and factory-style chassis reflect the thoroughness of the restoration. Accompanying documentation includes an album of restoration photographs and the original AACA award plaque, further reinforcing the quality, authenticity, and long-term preservation of this exceptional Impala. Combining award-winning restoration, documented history, desirable factory performance, and one of Chevrolet's most iconic designs, this Bubble Top represents an outstanding example of the American fin era.
