We're looking at a 1958 Chevrolet Chevy Impala Sport Coupe in Sierra Gold Paint.
The car's Owner is Marc Vernon. Marc shares he has this car since 2014. He’s always enjoyed the look of this one year only design, and this one looks like it just came off the showroom floor.

I drove a 58 impala back in 64... it actually belonged to my older brother who was in U S Army at the time..
Hi joy ride, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the car your Brother had that you drove :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
LOU you will never believe what I am going to tell you : when my uncle went to MEDICAL SCHOOL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA AT MINNEAPOLIS along time ago he brought with him back to CAIRO exactly the same car and it is still running in the streets of ALEXANDRIA AND CAIRO WERY WELL. My cousin is taking great care of it. It is amazing and a beauty. lots of people in both CAIRO and ALEXANDRIA offered my cousin lots of money to buy , but she always refuse. This car is really very beautiful .They built that model with great care. Thanks LOU for sharing this great video with me. I really appreciate your excellent hard work bringing all kinds of great cars. Please have a great day. Appreciate it very much.
Hi Hisham Elfiki, How amazing is that! Glad this one reminds you of your Uncles car. You have a good day too, Lou
Hey...its Jay Leno in sun glasses.
Hi matrox, I wish someone would have told me earlier! Lou
One of my Aunts drove one of these back in the 60's. Hers was black on black and i tdon't remember the rear fender skirts and definitely not a Continental kit. But I do believe it was an Impala. When she and my mother would go shopping they'd pool their money to put gas in the car. 3 gallons for a quarer! This Sierra Gold is beautiful. Obviously not a stripper... but a beautiful top of the line example. Love it! the interior is great too. Perfect match for the outrageous outside.
Hi Brian, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Aunts car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou P.S. Like this one minus the continental kit? th-cam.com/video/SgxX5y4R5WI/w-d-xo.html
Lou, your comment about the gas tank filler made me smile ! Impala from '58 has crazy, Flash Gordon styling. Jaw-dropping side profile and completely over-the-top ornamentation hark back to an era where the adage "less is more" had not yet been invented...
Hi Andrew Graham, A gas tank filler comment just for you :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing a wonderfully detailed comment, Lou
1958 Chevy Impala. Suavecito’58. The “Baby Cadillac”.
They don’t make them like they used to.

it always amazed me how a top of the line chevy could wind up being a base model. from 1949 to 1957 the bel air was the top of the line, 1958 to 1964 the impala and 1965 to 1985 the caprice/ caprice classic. from 1972 to 1975 bel air was a base model, 1976 to 1985 the impala and 1986 to 1996 the caprice.

Definitely the most beautiful Chevy ever built. In 1958 my dad bought a new 58 Belair, I inherited it in 1966 when I got my license at just 16 yrs old. But I always wanted a 58 Impala, so in 1968 my dad spotted one in a guys yard that had an engine bay fire, I bought it for$ 250. With my dad's help we went through the engine and needless to say I was one proud owner, however in 1971 after my son was born some idiot T boned me and totaled my dream car. I really enjoyed this video, it brought back many great memories for me. Mine was powder blue with a white top. It was the best looking car Chevy ever built because it was the only body style of its kind, never duplicated like the tri fives or any of the others. Thanks again guys. Oh yeah, mine had the 348 4 brl which I later added a tri power to.
Hi Trucker Ray, Happy to read this video / car brought back great memories :-) Here is another video I recently produced I think you'll enjoy, Lou th-cam.com/video/paM9ChPIl-k/w-d-xo.html
My all time favorite along with the '63 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500 Fastback and l'm an old Ford lover.
Happy to read this is a favorite of yours :-)
@@loucostabile Thanks Lou. I'm too old now but have owned dozens and as l said l'm a Ford guy but it seems like all the '58's were so sharp, especially the GM line. I had a '58 Ford Retractable. Enjoy your videos, thanks, just got on TH-cam.
This is a beautiful example of a '58 Impala. I have to agree that not all cars can carry the continental kit beautifully except this car. The fins carry your eyes to it and away from it and it doesn't hide any of the design cues. It is too bad that it was a one year design but the '59 brought us into the great designs that happened in the '60's.
Happy to read you enjoy the design of this car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing.
An awesomely beautiful car. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome.
Yes Lou, this car had a lot of firsts. It had a all coil spring suspension, a new model level the Impala and an option most GM cars had that year air suspension which wasn't cheap and had lots of problems. I had a '58 Biscayne, 283 three speed on the column. It was pink metal flake. I couldn't stand it because it was tired, faded and just terrible looking. I went to Earl Schieb and had it painted black.
Hi Dale, Thank you for sharing, and glad to read you had a fun 1958 Chevy too :-) Lou
Hey Lou Jay Leno called and wants his face back. Outside of that beautiful car and the owner is a cool guy
Hey Stick Pd, NICE! Looking forward to talking with Jay Leno :-) Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car. Glad you think the Owner is a "cool guy" too, Lou P.S. Check out the Podcast - The Car Guys Report - radiomisfits.com/podcasts/car-guys/
Might want to change your radiator cap...easy sign of a bad cap when you see that upper hose
Hi Bob Crawford, Thank you for viewing and sharing a tip, Lou
Yeah, I was wondering about that hose also...
bob crawford yep. Also ignition timing a bit too retarded.
I am very partial to this model year it was the year I was born! Did not know this was the first year for the Impala! That top radiator hose was collapsed looks like it may need a new radiator capor the spring inside the hose my be missing.in.ordet to keep it from collapsing. Nice car Lou!
I agree, rad hose looks like its crimped shut trying to suck rad fluid. Hope thats fixed now.
Seen this car in person it is real nice ... I seen it at a restaurant when I walked out parked in the lot..
Glad you enjoy this car you're familiar with :-)
Yes, this colour was available on the 1956 Chevrolet. Fascinating that this was a Canadian car that wasn't rebadged. Continental kit looks smooth of this car & not jutting out like on so many others. Another great review thank you.
Hi Rare VHS uploads, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and pointing out details to add to the story, Lou
Lou Costabile It amazing how many Canadian cars you find - I know your Chi-town location likely helps. I think your channel shows more Cdn market and Cdn built cars than the rest of the channels on TH-cam combined. Thanks again Lou.
nice oshawa built car! in 1958 the grill was the same in chevys, pontiacs, oldsmobiles, buicks and cadillacs.
Did not know that about the grill.
At first glance I thought Lou caught up with Jay Leno.
....that would be FUN!
My favorite.. 1958 G.M. full sized coupes..best year...
Happy to read this one is a favorite of yours :-)
Great sound. Really love that copper! Cool getting an idea of what it's like looking thru the dash... great! That's a big steering wheel!!!! Thanks!
Hi WickedFireFly13, Enjoy reading the details of what you enjoyed in your comment :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing. You're welcome, Lou
NICE CHEVY. FROM ROOF TO HUBCAPS
.STEERING WHEEL ...SAME ON '59 ALSO .
ANOTHER FACTORY COLOR IS. A SOMEWHAT. NAME ...CORVETTE BLUE
NEIGHBOR HAD A 2DRSD IMPALA BLUE INTERIOR. , CURB FEELERS , HA ..HE WAXED IT. EVERY WEEKEND AT GOOD WEATHER .
LOVED HIS IMPALA .
THANKS LOU
Hi Andrew, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your neighbors car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Hey Lou, this color on this 58 Chev was so ahead of its time, the sun just brings that classic to Life! Yes sir Lou, continue to locate these gems of art work with wheels, so we can dream of them. God bless you & continue to do the great interviews.🙏🏻❤️✌️💚👍
Hi Gary, Thank you for the blessings, they are well received. Thank you for watching the commercials as that helps me find these "gems of art work with wheels" :-) Lou
Seeing these cars brings joy to my heart 😍

My '58 Sierra Gold Delray fodor never looked 1/10th that great on a good day! Still vacuum wipers? Nice presentation.

Spectacular, beautiful car! Nothing like the classics! High praise!
A good one for sure :-)
I just finished (almost) restoring a 58 bel air. Although it's a 4 door sedan it still has such a classic look I couldnt pass up rebuilding it. I put a 396 Chevy in it with 700r4 transmission. Overdrive is so nice on an old v8. Profile pic is the car
Hi TDA DIY, Happy to read you're enjoying your restoration car project :-) Wishing you many miles & smiles, Lou
A really cool car. I have always loved the 58 Chevy. My brother had a 1960 Pontiac Bonneville the same color as this car. He also had a 1974 Pontiac Lemans in the same color. Thanks for sharing your video.
Hi Thomas Tommy, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Thank you for sharing some of your Brothers cool cars too, Lou
canadian models, weren't exported to the u.s or the other way around, (trade tarifs) until 1968.
Thank for sharing. Please remember to watch the commercials at the beginning of the video (or at least the ones you can), as that's how I get paid so I can keep sharing with you :-)
AWESOME!
Hi Bob, Happy to read you enjoy this Classic :-) Lou
Very nice and so iconic! THX Lou!!
Hi Ed B., Glad you enjoyed this one :-) You're welcome, Lou
Beautiful car and an amazing year for Chevrolet. I can't understand why someone would want a continental kit. It ruins the car. The introduction of the Impala gave the average car buyer the opportunity to purchase a level of luxury previously unavailable. The 58 was a dramatic departure from the tri five.

Hi Joseph, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Nice car except for the fender skirts and Continental Kit! For me, thev283 would be a better choice than the 348.
Like he said more than adequate power and much better on gas.
Thank you for viewing and sharing.
Always loved the 58 more than the 55-57, and finally got one 3 yrs ago but mine is the cheapie Delray
Congrats on your 1958 :-)
It was a great time to be 13....new cars were bigger, more modern, more flashy, and for 1958 more HEADLIGHTS.
Good times, good times :-)
Mark should have contacted Jay Leno to profile this car they would look like twins standing next to each other... love the Impala
Hi Ricki Hearns, Glad you "love the Impala" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I now know they love cars in heaven,what a dream ride! I was born in 1958 so I love these giant beauties !_Thanks Lou
Preach it Brother Larry! Amen!
Very beautiful amazing car just love the look beautiful colours
Happy to read you enjoy the looks and colors of this car :-)
Don't remember the arm rest in the back seat or the fluted side trim. How was it a trim package in 58 if my title said Impala under model...also mine was straight six three on the tree, everything else was same as this one. Always wanted the fully loaded 348, air conditioning and the smokeless ashtray on the passenger side dash...
Thank you for viewing and sharing details of your car, and what you'd like in the one you've always wanted too.
Nice car and color. What's wrong with the user radiator hose.
Hi Timothy, Happy to read you enjoy the car and color. Might need a new thermostat, Lou
Nicest car ever made, the line's Love them
High praise :-)
That's a real beauty!
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)

I have a '58 Impala in the same color combo. Original paint except for the white on the roof. Interior is about 50% original. 348 3x2 with correct factory vacuum setup.
Hi Lt. Frank Drebin, You have a nice car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
There's an antenna on the right front fender and two on the back. Connie kit and skirts look awful. The Connie destroys the whole rear end appearance of the car. I don't understand why people seem compelled to tack a bunch of "accessories" onto old Chevies.
Stock was the rear passenger fender antenna...my first car
Hi g bridgman, Thank you for viewing & sharing, Lou
“Good thing they toned it down” - classic.
Nice :-)
Was hoping it was a 348 Best ever made... Put one in a 56 .. built it for street racing...Added headers and drag plugs.. Couldn't catch it..
Sounds like a fun motor you built :-)
Beautiful Impala. Why is the upper radiator hose collapsed?
Hi David Kastin, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Not sure, we'll have to look into that, Lou
Some cars had a spring inside the top radiator hose to keep them from collapsing. Maybe this car needs one.
Nice color! Great sound (out of a small block...?)
Glad you enjoy the color and sound of this one :-)
Gorgeous color a lot of nice touches on this one
Hi 11094DEREK, I like the color on this car too :-) Thank you for sharing, Lou
Great car and story Lou..... but that radiator hose makes me worry, simple fix new cap definitely needed!
Hi Karl Maier, Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Thank you for sharing a tip too, Lou

Are the vents at the rear of the hood functional? If so, what is their purpose?
Sorry I meant roof not hood.
Sorry I meant roof not hood.
Pretty sure they are decorative. If someone knows more, feel free to share.

I love the model and the color, but not so much the interior colors.
Hi musclecarfan74, Happy to read you enjoy the model and color of this car :-) Lou
This guy reviews several of these identical 58 impalas, and he pretends he's seeing one for the first time Oh brother.
Hi Norman Rhone, Advice for you. Before I was married, I used to date a lot of women. Here is the secret of why they enjoyed dating me ......even thought they're all women, I treated them all as individuals. That's how I can be excited about EVERY car I see that's cool like it's the only one. Enjoy this TH-cam Channel with me, have fun, and stay well, Lou
He might have something else going on with that hose?! I have never seen that before??!!
Hi Adrian Tomlin, We'll look into that, Lou

Hi Vito Bertaudeau, Thank you for viewing. You're welcome, Lou
one of the few american vehicles that didn't catch the case of the "uglies" going around in 1958. mercedes made some uncollectible vehicles as the rocket fins came in big and then were attempted to be hidden starting in this year which caused a lot of production designs to seem a little awkward, if not downright objectionable in appearance a matter of months later.. the economical V8 displacement, too!
Hi Scott Brady, Thank you for viewing, sharing your thoughts, and adding to the story, Lou

So was 1958 the first year that the Power-Glide had reverse between Park and Neutral?
Not sure. Hoping a Viewer can share knowledge to your question.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Canadian Chevrolets were the same as US versions, our Pontiacs were Chevys under the skin with different names, Dodge did the same thing
Hi gord goodfellow, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou

If I Really got the idea that I Had to have one of these, I would have to BULLDOZE the neighbor's apartment. Yes, it would be great fun, and it Would create a problem ...but then, I would have enough room for my dream Chevy. GREAT ! (- Well, I'll have to think on it.)
Hi JOHNNIE: LORD OF THE MungoidHen PEOPLE, Make sure you contact the call the Electric & Gas Company so you shut of electricity & gas so you don't get shocked or blown up when demolishing a building :-) Lou
Yes, it is always important to consider health and safety. As a big part of my environmental improvement scheme, I will notify the power companies, carefully deport my nuisance neighbors and build a nice level driveway for the new Chevy. Thanks for the good advice = )
You are funny !
Where do these people get their steering wheels rebuilt? New replacements that don't look like a teenage hot rod are seemingly nonexistent.
No idea. Hopefully a Viewer can share knowledge, Lou
No Skirts!
Thank you for viewing and sharing. Hope you see many cars on this TH-cam Channel you enjoy.
Junkerup just showed a couple of 59 impala's rotting into the earth. Sad!

Those hokey skirts and fender skirts kill it for me! Unnecessary and out of place. I know others would disagree!
Hi Craig Jorgensen, Clearly this car is not for you :-( Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you enjoy :-) Lou
Nice car except for the fender skirts and Continental Kit!

I hate the fender skirts and I hate that nasty "Continental Kit"... ruins the lines of the car. Why, oh why must they install these excrescences.

@@ronripplinger5235 You're just flat-out wrong.
The C kit ruins it!!
I prefer the rear of the car without the continental kit too.
