Feast Your Eyes on the Stunning 1958 Chevrolet Impala

The previous owner of this ’58 Impala bought it from a historical museum in Oregon a few years ago.

The car underwent an extensive frame off restoration and chop that consisted of replacing every nut & bolt and transforming this into a major head-turner.

It was chopped 2” and lowered another 3” in order to produce the low, lean & mean machine you see today. The engine and bay are just as flashy and eye-catching as the exterior, as everything from the carbs to hood hinges have been chromed!
