1958 Impala Sport Coup

1958 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coup

Original Unmolested 1958 Impala Sport Coup

State of California Show Car

Quality Period Correct Paint

Chevy's 1958 Impala sport coup was a landmark automobile, and the one-year-only design seems to have finally found its place among the most sought-after cars of the 1950s. This one isn't strictly stock, but it has the right look, and with a smooth-running 350, a red color combination, and a few subtle custom touches, it manages to stand out without erasing everything that was great about the original look..

HISTORY;

This is a collector car from the estate of Don Blair. He set out in the sixties to change his life in the Sunshine state of California. He started his passion with cars at that time by managing several gas stations for the Shell Oil company. Later the opportunity to purchase his own station and be an owner operator he cashed in all his chips and bought his first station. He had a knack for the trends in markets....he bought low and sold high time and time again. The gas crunch of the 70's he made money hand over fist as he had no shortage of fuel with his connections in the Oil industry and his years of hard work and honesty paid off and he reaped benefits by having unparalleled gas reserves. He turned his passion into a hobby of collecting classic cars in the early 90's. He attended auctions around the country purchasing many cars he remembered in his childhood from the 30's. He was a stickler for buying and maintaining the integrity of STOCK vehicles and prided himself to having OEM cars etc. He grew his collection to well over 30 vehicles in a short period of time and enjoyed buying them and enjoying them. He was very honest and enjoyed fixing them and maintaining them himself as a hobbyist and enthusiast at the same time. He also had a full time mechanic and maintenance guy that kept them in pristine condition. The cars have never seen the rain since he owned them and have been stored inside his warehouse and babied like they deserve He belonged to several clubs like the fabulous T-bird club and Model A club and spent time socializing and telling stories on weekends with young and old alike. He prided himself on taking care of these beautiful pieces of American history and he enjoyed them tremendously. The vehicles have been bought and or restored in pretty much factory condition with as much original equipment that allows for this time period and a quick look at this entire collection you will see the fine examples which could carryover into any automotive museum that could house any one of these fine vehicles.
