In 1956, Chevrolet unveiled the Impala as a concept vehicle. It took the company just two years to put it into full production. The Impala was introduced as the top-of-the-line Bel Air model before being promoted to a stand-alone series in 1959 because the firm didn’t want to rush its introduction.
Bel Air and Impala continued to share practically everything, although Chevrolet gradually began to give the first greater attention. Despite still having a sizable client base in the US, the latter was demoted to the back of its list.
The 1959 Impala was the first in a series of big releases that eventually turned Chevrolet into the kind of full-size sales in the United States. The company later became the undisputed leader in its home market, with Impala also setting major sales records. In 1965, Impala became the first model in the US after World War II to sell more than 1 million units.

The Impala is in amazing shape, and the pictures speak a thousand words. According to Bocollect, the Impala is still in its original condition. Its previous owners took good care of it, keeping it in top physical and functional order.
The car still has the original 283 Chevrolet installed before it left the assembly lines, and the engine runs smoothly. The 1959 Impala’s standard V8 was the 283 while the big-block 348 was still an option.
The odometer indicates 85,000 miles, and the mileage is original, which makes sense considering the car is still unrestored.
