1960 Chevrolet Impala Bubble Top

Description

The 1960 Chevrolet Impala is a true sought-after classic. After all, the "Bubble Top" coupes are one of the best icons of the era. So to find the unique year presented with a ton of vintage style and a few of the right subtle upgrades, it really makes for one special coupe you'll happily cruise everywhere.

The bubble top comes from a time when the best designers really dictated what hit the streets. The streamlined roof is almost flying on air with the open pillar-less hardtop and wraparound glass both front and rear. And just as striking were the tailfins that if they were positioned vertically would have taken the size record from Cadillac. With such a unique year for design, it's nice to find an example like this with clean glass and complete trim. The red paint is always a good choice on a car like this. It has a glossy finish, but this is a true cruise, so the overall impression makes sure nothing here gets too fancy to make you too nervous to get out and enjoy this hardtop. Running the same length as the fin is the cool jet-inspired white and chrome trim that's a hallmark of these premium speedy Chevys. And that streak of white is also a great match for the roof and wide whitewalls for a terrifically coordinated total package.

The full red interior has a handsome style that makes it easy to keep all the windows down on this pillarless hardtop so people can see the full package inside and out. This classic was made to be driven, and so you have the right updates for a cruiser like comfy velour upholstery, plush capering, a fitted dash cover, and seatbelts in both rows. But nothing ever takes away from the vintage atmosphere. It's a true classic, right down to details like the working dome light and AM radio that's still cranking out tunes. And the Impala's artful dual-spoke steering wheel gives you a clear view of the five individual gauge pods that look particularly sporty.

Under the hood is a 283 cubic-inch V8. This looks exceptionally correct - from the Chevy orange on the motor to the air grabber. In fact, it's even a year-correct block. But it still has the right upgrade, like an alternator. And the way this V8 fires up and idles smoothly really tells you it wants to be the classic you take out to be enjoyed. That's why you have nice easy driving features like power steering, power brakes, and an automatic transmission. And the glasspack-style dual exhaust gives the V8 that ideal tone.

Complete with owner's manual, this is an ultra-desirable Bubble Top Impala that has been done so that you can show it off with ease. So if you love driving your classic, you know you need this hardtop. Call today!!!
