This 1962 Chevrolet Impala coupe is an interesting lesson in enduring honesty. It stays true to its original form right down to the paint. And when so many survivor qualities are on such an affordable classic, you can't help but get attached to it. Take a moment to really appreciate what you checking out. The code-938 Adobe Beige paint on this coupe shows all signs of being original. That's more than half a century of surviving! Sure, there are normal signs of use and age. But the kind of luster that remains makes this coupe a legend, and it will certainly make people's jaws drop when you tell them it's 55 years old. And with all the correct badging and wheel covers in place, you can tell someone really loved this coupe. But more than just a survivor, you'll love this car for its classic American presentation. The Impala was restyled this year to give it a thicker, more sophisticated c-pillar. This was combined with a chrome separating line at roof's base to create a hardtop convertible appearance that has remained very popular today. The top-of-the-line Impala did this particularly nicely with a brushed aluminum panel and six taillight arrangement that was an exclusive standout. Another great touch specially for the Impala was the chrome strip running the length of the car in a progressive thickness. This appears like an arrow pushing the coupe forward.Inside is a more 1960s style presented with great preservation. The factory-correct fawn cloth & vinyl combination has all the right earthtone inserts on the seats to give this a very cool representation of a premium '62 Impala. And side panels have a button-top retro-cool design that will attract attention every time you open the door. And of course, it wouldn't feel correct without plenty of brightwork on dash. This lends a stylistic touch to everything from the heat/defrost controls to the period-correct tach mounted next to the steering column. The full-size sedan means there's plenty of room to carry up to five family and friends along for the ride, and you can even keep them entertained with a newer AM/FM/CD stereo cleanly installed below the original AM unit.Open the hood, and you're looking at a Chevrolet legend. After all, the inline-six was the backbone of the bow tie well before the small block. And you can really see a ton of period-correct components and decals still in this engine bay. Powerful, reliable, and easy to maintain, you'll attract plenty of attention from people who didn't even remember the top-of-the-line Impala came with a six-cylinder as standard. Plus, with power steering and Powerglide automatic transmission, this one is still a very nice and easy cruiser today.Something this interesting and well preserved is rarely this affordable. So you know you need to hurry if you want to make it yours. Call today!!!
