Big Barn Find: 1971 Chevrolet Impala Convertible
Chevrolet’s tagline for 1971 was, “You’ve changed, we’ve changed“. Really? Sounds like some Madison Avenue horse hockey to me. Yeah, they changed by bloating up the B-body (Caprice, Impala, BelAir, Biscayne) bestowing Cadillacesque lines and size upon their best-selling… more»

Triple Carburetor 348? 1959 Chevrolet Impala
I went looking for Barn Finds coverage of four-door ’59 Impalas and found only one and that was back in 2014 – and that car was submerged in a pond. The two-door hardtops are all over the place and… more»
