Test Drive 1958 Chevrolet Impala 348 V8 SOLD $45,900 Maple Motors

[@jackvolta3489]

I love this car, I was born in 58' curious is it still available, I just retired. I might need something to buy with my 401k money 😁👍

[@griffonclaw]

The condition of the body, the undercarriage and the interior are incredible. The engine sounds great, and you will be the center of attention anywhere you drive this beautiful, aggressive car. I love this era of Chevrolet and Ford. This is when America's auto industry wanted to win in every category. Even the small flaws (radio: replace with a nice resto-mod from Amazon, wipers: a novice mechanic can replace those; heater: You take this out on nice, sunny days.) can be considered something you can do to make it more valuable with your own hands.

[@ScottBleck]

Gotta love the 58' one year only. Cars back then were works of art.

[@profanetruth17]

olds delta 88 was impala's big competitor ... I like the olds back end better.... the way the chrome comes up from under the lights to the fin is a clumsy design.

[@larkraines9311]

Very sweet 1958. You'll NEVER find another one in better condition anywhere near this price. One of the sexiest years of Impala made, and the 1st Impala ever made. Original drivetrain more than likely, and once set up correctly, the tri-power is awesome. They aren't as bad as the comments would indicate, but you do have ti drive them to keep them running good. They tend to fall out of sync if stored for any length of time. This car is rock solid - that chrome on the front end! A few minor fixes and you've got an $80K+ ride, and these things are only going up in value. I own a '68 SS, 4 speed fastback. My Pops had a '67 427 SS convertible, 4 speed. Love the '59 also - best dash and cateye tailights, with a trunk big enough to be a hot tub! Impalas kick ass. Beautiful ride, Nick. This one won't last long.

You have the greatest job in the world working around them old cars and being around them all the time. I hope one day once I get healed from this cancer, I get the money to come up here and buy me one.

[@markmzark]

Transmision cooling lines hanging a bit low, $46K is a bit much for some. Interior and everything else is SUPER clean. You guys are great at showing EVERYTHING.

[@vswain47]

My favorite car on Maple Motors so far......I can see about 7K worth of work needed on this one though.

[@mcelyeajoe66]

Price is about 10k too much. Transmission lines hang down for easy ripping off. Fuel line too loose and low. Headliner is in poor condition. Tripower not adjusted properly. Needs too much repair and adjustments for the price.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

If I was to fix everything I would price it around 55k

[@midnightgambler3718]

Outrageous price for this 58. More like $36k

[@ricardoseymour7257]

If that tri power ain't set up and synced together it want run right. I had a 60 chevy wit same set up if you floored it it actually cut off

[@brianfalls5038]

Well Nick, that is one fine looking 58 Impala. And you're right about the adjustments too. Something isn't dialed in right. With that 6 pack on that old 348 then it seems like to me that you should have been able to burn the tire on that. Not to mention it's not kicking down like it's supposed to either. That's ok though. That's part of the fun of owning a classic like that. Getting under the hood and fine tuning it till it sings like it's supposed to

[@tomblake3809]

A beautiful 58. Black is the best color for the 58.

[@oneito7]

The kind of car you just can't stop staring at. Love it! Great Camara, too. lol 😎

[@johnp1040]

Tri-powers are hard to set up correctly even in 1958. Probably very few people left who know how. Otherwise, one of the best looking 58s I’ve seen.

[@martinfreeman8391]

Nice paint job. Come down about 10,000 and we’re talking.

Install the Holley Sniper and that would help this car a ton. Beautiful ride.

[@guscarlson7021]

I don't like tri power setups, they need constant attention. If going custom, I would have gone with a 383 crate with tuned port injection. Trouble free, excellent economy and performance when you want it.

[@brianlykins6663]

Transmission lines really need to be routed above the frame, not below. These snag and rip off will not be good. People that can not set up 3 dueces, shouldn't put them on engines. Nice looking car, still needs a bit of TLC.

[@mikederr4309]

This car is so nice, I would fix everything and be proud to drive a 1 year off car.

[@randylenart9674]

Nice car, but the rubber line to the trany needs to go

[@mastergunnerysgt1258]

This was the trans cooler of the day. For they put them in for the last 2 years, for they had to take that heavy body around of that day. Just like the HD trucks of today, for they have trans coolers that are basically made the same way. Because they have to pull around the same weight of today.

[@Xocolatben]

yea, they need to be tucked over and beside the frame rails ... and the smoke?

[@customdetailer0078]

she has a cast iron power glide transmission. my daddy was a car salesman all his life, i grew up on car lots. in 57 and through the early 70s he was selling new chevy's he said when the 57 came out people hated them! the fins were ugly to them. they were a slow seller. but when they released the 58s they were so ugly, all of a sudden, the 57 didn't look so bad! then people bought up all the left over ones. funny how things change.

[@StevenConroy-m9n]

Watch the Video again,,,, That's no Power Glide, a Power Glide is a 2 speed, This one shifts twice, making it a 3 speed,,, most likely a Turbo 350 which is NOT Standard equipment for a 1958 or even a 1959 for that matter !! It is decent car but I would need to put $10,000 in it to have it as I would want it, not counting a new paint job that was ALL the same color !

It wasn't supposed to be . People will say that I'm lying but I'm not . What we know as the '57 Chevy today , was supposed to be this design . Look at the past , the '49 - '50 are very similar , as are the '51 - '52 , the '53 - '54 , and the '55 - '56 . The '58 design wasn't ready in time for a '57 introduction , so they cobbled up the '57 as a stopgap measure . That Impala would look good parked beside my '58 Sedan Delivery .
