Chevrolet Impala 1st Gen by model year
The 1958 Impala debuted as a top-trim level for the Bel Air, offered as a Sport Coupe or Convertible. It was a one-year-only design, featuring a longer wheelbase, quad headlights, and six distinctive taillights that set it apart from other Chevrolets. Engine options ranged from a 235 cubic inch inline-6 to the new 348 cubic inch big-block V8, making it a stylish performer.
Collectors prize the '58 Impala for its unique styling and its status as a late-50s icon, a reputation boosted by its role in the film "American Graffiti." The combination of extravagant chrome, sculpted body lines, and single-year availability creates strong demand. Convertibles and cars equipped with the high-performance versions of the 348 V8 are the most desirable and command the highest values.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy. Thoroughly inspect the floor pans, trunk floor, body mounts, and the area around the front and rear windows.
- All exterior trim is unique to 1958 models. Ensure chrome and stainless steel pieces are present and in good shape, as finding replacements is difficult and expensive.
- Verify the engine. The 348 V8 is a major value-add, especially the 280 hp Tri-Power version. Check engine block casting numbers to confirm authenticity.
- For convertibles, operate the power top to check for smooth hydraulic function and a solid frame. A worn or malfunctioning top is a significant expense to fix.
