Hardtop sedans are one of the coolest classics around. So when
that's added to one of the most distinctive Chevy designs ever, and
it also an awesome color combo inside and out, you soon realize
this 1960 Chevrolet Impala Sport Sedan is one of the most
interesting classics you can pick up right now.
Ermine White is a great color for GM fans. After all, the first
Corvette only came in that color, and so it instantly lends its
sporty style to this hardtop. There's nice look of quality here
that's not only in the paint, but also in details like the clean
Impala six taillight arrangement and all four doors close with
confidence. While all the 1960 Chevys had wraparound front glass,
only the hardtop sedans had wraparound rear glass, too. There's
even a hint of overhang on the roof for added sporty style. This
has terrific vintage details, like the bright chrome bumpers,
fender skirts, and jet-age side trim that rockets up the side with
a bold red inlay. But the piece we all marvel at the most is the
trunk. The deeply dipping center channel that also forms the
tailfins was one of the most daring looks ever put to
sheetmetal.
Where the exterior is white with a hint of red, the interior flips
it around for a dominant red and white accenting. The two colors
are masterfully interwoven on this stylish setup. You even have it
as part of the houndstooth-style inserts in the seats and door
panels! And the overall quality tells you there was a solid
investment to restore this later in life. We especially like having
this well-coordinated total color package inside and out, because
on a hardtop, it's so easy for people to see it all. This is a
full-sized sedan, and so there's plenty of room for family and
friends. And if they are true classic fans, they'll love going for
a ride. That because this one keeps its classic style, right down
to the sporty round gauge package and AM transistor radio that's
still there for display.
Under the hood is a 283 cubic-inch V8. This looks exceptionally
correct - from the Chevy orange on the block to the generator - so
it should be no surprise this is believed to be the original
powerplant. Good care means it retains that hardy attitude that
makes you love a Chevy small block, and the newer dual exhaust has
a nice tune. Powerglide transmission is a smooth shifter, and
that's joined by power steering and modern BG Goodrich T/As for an
all-around great classic cruiser.
This is truly a distinct way to enjoy a true classic Chevy. So if
you like to get attention at every stoplight, don't let this one
slip away. Call today!!!
