1960 Impala test drive

[@nahpoli]

beautiful car! the song from 1966, this was my Dads car when I was little and I just went back there, thank you for posting!

[@hunterxsimple3821]

My dad had a 4d all original green hardtop. Bought it in 1989 from the US. Unfortunately he sold it... if I could just own it one day...

[@robertmurray9095]

Beautiful 1960 Impala!

[@EristiCat]

My mom had that powertrain in a 64 Chevelle. Mechanic redid the trans for a firm shift. When you floored it and it shifted at WOT it went BANG and the car jumped. Loved that car.

[@EdWard-xz3qj]

Incredible acceleration and wow! Incredible how this 283 sounds!!! Very nice!

[@JCMCentAus]

We own a 1960 Impala with the same engine and carb and Powerglide. Love that "Rochester roar."

[@montymatilda]

Ah, the Chevy small block. What a wonderful sounding engine. Nice they haven't put an overwhelming exhaust system on it so you can hear the engine wind out!

[@joshn938]

My god, that car is GORGEOUS. Clean as a whistle. Boy, one of these days....

[@rickmartyn55]

my favorite car of all time thanks for doing this video. good job.

[@RockerWasRight]

Love it man, I had 2 back when they were just 9 year old....old cars. Sold my beautiful convertible for 300 dollars the day before I went to Great Lakes boot camp.I STILL dream of my HS baby some 43 years later.

[@kaybroughton9004]

Absolutely beautiful! Love the rocket emblems on the sides of the 1960 model! Thanks for giving us a real treat. Wish I could drive it!!

[@frequencyfluxfandango8504]

Just Loads of character. I love these cars, but to me the station wagons from this era are tops. Enjoyable narration too by the way. Thanks for uploaderising your Chevy.

[@ianhand5006]

Beautiful car!

[@tomfermanian]

Our family had about the same model, 383 engine except 2 barrel Carbs original, side mirrors where on doors, aerial (radio) was on front passenger car fender, and last but not least, dashboard was definitely not padded, was metal, ours was copper coloured, white top, same upholstery fabric and design. neighbours had same car, red and white, their dashboard was not padded either ??? Both cars where purchased almost together from Luby Chevrolet in Miami Florida.

[@cliffmcsparran3390]

The V-8s available in 1960 were the 283 this car has, or the 348. Padded dash was an option.

[@jonbien9068]

I was born in 1960 I took care of my self but I don't look new anymore. Did some one keep it in a heated cold aired room wrapped in cellophane for 60 years or what kind of skin cream did it use.

[@davidiverson2541]

Really nice Impala. Surprising power from a 283.

wow.... owner is very fortunate.... congratulations to them 👍

[@erin19030]

It was a great car, a smooth powerful ride. Love the Chevy 283 V8

[@dowen1511]

One of the best Chevy v8s ever that little 283.

[@Lost_AtSea_]

How come everytime someone opens the trunk of an impala, they immediately think about how many dead bodies can fit in it...

[@fabiandeleon2542]

It’s pretty much a car guy meme before memes were a thing. If you had an old school with a big trunk, then you flex on it by saying how many body’s you can fit in there for having a big trunk.

[@tbd-1]

I don't know about 'dead' bodies but when I was a kid it was about how many people you could sneak into the 51/16 Drive-In.

[@luckychucky3426]

It's my car when I was 19 years old $90 payment $75 for insurance full coverage every month kept me broke had a generator not an alternator had to put in three of them at the cost of $18 which was a lot of money back then and now I see that card and just brings back old memories

[@soldtobediers]

1:45 Or 5 live teenagers like we did at the drive-in's! 2:10 Forgot about them... ''I've opened the door, so swerve out a little farther!'' And to think @ 16 I thought of them as ''Bat-mobile Gauche'' In hindsight; given that backseat expanse - I could many a moonlight date night; had saved myself tremendous efforts in pulling out & placing back, the upper & lower seat sections of my '56.

[@paulsimon8269]

All I have left are memories and the owners manual...gas cap in the back some models had a sealed light above the cap.also some models the tail lights are glass and not plastic...

ironically in this day and age of drive in movies and drive in diners, you would think they would have come up with better cup holders

[@michaelwebb8771]

Heavy as a tank, reason they rode so well

[@cnyreview3632]

Since viewing this video, Harley & Margaret Schmitt have put a hit on you for beating their classic.

[@monarch1957]

Beautiful original car.

[@ImFastYoureFurious]

man i love your car ♥

[@itsmegp46]

Manual brakes and probably manual steering, I didn't see a power steering pump. This car much like my 1965 BelAir which also had manual brakes and steering, it was a handful to drive on twisty country roads. Six turns lock to lock my arms would get a real workout.

[@NebukedNezzer]

with the powedrglide you can not hurt this car buy just running it wide open up to 90mph. I owned on of these and it was a station wagon. Paid 20 bucks for it. not this nice at all but got over 4 years of family use out of it and sold it for 100. I put about 500 into it in the 4 continuous use as our only family car.. The real danger was the fuel tank on the station wagon. a 20mph rear bump could incinerate everyone in the car. Lucky I did not know that.

[@joewho3691]

Sweet machine 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@78logistics]

yes...283 power pack ie 4bbl. 220 hp I believe.

[@3656761]

That WAS fun! They did not mind you going that fast in such an old car? I would not have had the confidence that it would have good brakes!

[@davshaw5]

Where do you even find a car like this in original condition? Even if it were stored inside, the mice would have gotten to it.....

[@BananaPhoPhilly]

What is the fastest speed you can go without having a bumpy ride?

[@dowen1511]

I bet that little 283 loved getting strung out some they always were hard runners , I bet that thing has never been driven like that in its life . lol.

[@PaslCivi27]

Nice car

[@3656761]

Who let you drive that car wide open? How fast did it go in low gear wide open? What was the shift speed normally?

[@78logistics]

Shift points for 1963 Impala SSs with both 327 and 409 were 62 mph into high with PG..imagine this would be.about the same

[@stevebreeden9964]

My 64ss impala with two speed power glide shifts out at 15 mph from first and second gear is good for 105 mph to the 120 mark crazy right?

[@frankgiaquinto1571]

IIRC, the powerglide trans / 283 combination would up shift from first to second at approximately 26 mph under light to moderate acceleration. FYI for our younger readers: it was a two speed automatic transmission,so it only shifted once.Beautiful car!

[@JCMCentAus]

@@78logistics I own 1960 Impala with the same engine and PG. It is at about 60 MPH. I still love that "Rochester roar" from the Quadrajet.

[@alfredoroldanmunoz4131]

Very nice, thank you.

[@fleetwin1]

That car is absolutely amazing, how did they keep it so nice for all those years! Was that padded dash an option in 1960, or someone's repair job?

[@jamesveach6918]

by keeping dickheads like him out of it

[@hunterxsimple3821]

@@jamesveach6918 what makes him a dickhead?

[@ramdodgetruck]

I had one of those I bought back in 1966, paid 50.00. Seemed all used cars cost 50 bucks back then.

[@Bartonovich52]

My dad’s first car was 57 Chevy Nomad in 1971. $50. One of the motor mounts was no good so the fan would grind against the hood on acceleration. It fell through the ice on a frozen swamp.

[@TheKacper2001]

V8 ?

[@onemoremisfit]

Smoking in that car is a crime, which is probably why he closed the ashtray before we could get a good look at it.

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

If that thing had a 10 speed auto it would rip!

[@theminicooper]

I feel bad for the car! :(

[@johnsonthomas7871]

It's speed in km/h or ml/h????

[@davidcampbell1899]

That MPH so he was going 70 at one point and over 90 on the return trip.....best he got it up over 100....SHHHH!!!!!

[@spirg]

Excellent video !!!!! Beautiful car !!!! Thx

[@thyslop1737]

Hurts to see the cracked dash.

[@JeromeBill7718]

hey, how about you say 1960 Chevrolet one more time.

[@0tube0user]

cup holders that hold nothing, did it take advance engineering to figure out they needed to at least an inch deep

[@thunderpuppy6719]

You only used the cupholders when the car was parked...like at a drive-in movie...or the submarine races. Duh.
