The 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air has had a complete makeover, now sleeker, heftier, and longer—just like my uncle after Thanksgiving dinner. Sporting seven body styles, it’s the first time Chevy introduces the Impala name, but only as a coupe or convertible. For those who love power, a big block engine is on the menu, offering 348 cubic inches of pure muscle. This “baby Cadillac” can be decked out with every imaginable option, making it the automotive equivalent of a luxury buffet.
The third generation 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air has been re-done top to bottom. The model is lower than previously, it is also heavier and longer, with a choice of seven body styles this year. This is the first year the Impala nameplate is used by Chevy, but only offered as a coupe or a convertible. For ’58 a big block engine is on the options sheet for the first time and this is the.348 cu in (5.7 L), This Bel-Air could be equipped with every option available and was/is well known as a “baby Cadillac.”
