The classic 1957 Chevrolet Impala Special Sport Coupe was a popular choice for collectors, and this example is the factory code correct 960E example with an Arctic White roof and Tri-tone interior. The car is powered by a 348ci V8 engine and comes with a Powerglide automatic transmission. This SS features a power steering column and power brakes. Additional features include an angled windshield with a compound-curve design and chromed, pillar-free BF Goodrich Silvertown wide whitewall tire. It also has an original AM radio with front & rear speakers, as well as speaker-balance adjustment.
The first Impala was a full-size model shown at the 1956 Motorama show and was named after a graceful African antelope. The concept car lacked air conditioning, but it was repainted after the show. The Chevrolet Impala's design team collaborated with Pontiac designers to create the basic body packaging for the 1958 model. It was Harley Earl, an artist from Massachusetts, who worked on the design of the 1957 Chevrolet automobile.
The 1959 Chevrolet Impala featured a slab-sided body with a pronounced sweep in the rear quarter window. The full-size version retained the 119-inch wheelbase. The hardtop Sport Coupe was new with a notchback roofline. All models had vent-less front windows. The company's "power vent" system provided easy access to the passenger compartment. It also had a tachometer.
