1960 Chevrolet Impala

1960 Chevrolet Impala Bubble Top â?" 348 V8, Twin Edelbrock Carbs, Air Ride, Red and White Two-Tone Custom Why This Car Is Special The 1960 Chevrolet Impala holds a specific place in American automotive history that no other year can claim. Chevrolet's full-size line received an all-new body for 1959, and the 1960 model refined that design into what many collectors consider the cleaner, more resolved version of that generation. The wrap-around rear window, the flat roofline of the hardtop Sport Coupe â?" what enthusiasts call the 'bubble top' â?" and the massive horizontal tailfins were all design elements that existed in this exact combination for one model year only. By 1961, the fins were gone and the roofline had changed. That makes the 1960 Impala hardtop a very specific target for collectors who know their Chevrolet history.
