Pat Ganahl visits Mox Miller to examine his perfectly perserved 1958 Chevy Impala show custom. Mr. Miller is the original owner and the amazing custom work was completed in the early 1960s.
Fifty-two years ago my parents had a solid black ‘58 BelAir, 348-4barrel, chromed edition. I loved this car! It was the first car I ever drove and it broke my heart when my Dad sold it to a friend for $100! It developed a dime-sized hole in the tailpipe and the bigger it got the better the exhaust sounded…organic glass packs? 😂. Great video and thanks for the memories! ~Jim~
I saw that panel painted 58 in a car magazine when I was 6 or 7 and it burned a hole in my brain.Just a small pic of it sitting at an indoor car show. Might even been in black + white,cant remember. Not sure if it was R+C or HR I thought it was some highly modified custom and I am amazed when I was older it was all in the paint scheme. #1 58 of all time.Myself, I would have to run this on the street though. Mox Miller you're a King in my book. 58 truck is Bitchin' as well..Love to see the collection in person.
Everyone else likes the tri-five Chevys and they're nice. I wasn't born until 68 and my normal projects are "square body" (GM called them Rounded Line) trucks. However, I fell in love with the 58 passenger cars watching American Gaffetti and if I could find one to restore for a reasonable price I'd haul it home today! Beautiful car in this video and the truck is awesome too...I'd be proud to be the caretaker of either one!
If they kept it garaged in southern California, it doesn't matter how long they had it there. They're both fantastic examples of of 1960s show vehicles. Everyone who sees this car will give you much respect because you've preserved this piece of automotive history. All we can say about all that chrome is, WOW, Shiny! Your dad's truck is awesome as well! Your gold 58 Impala is nice. Since you're not into selling anything, perhaps you should see about finding, restoring, and preserving one of each of the 1958 Chevrolet cars and trucks ? We're hoping . If you decide to take our suggestions, we'll be happy to send you whatever research we've already done to show you which models are needed to complete your collection.
Thankyou guys for creating an absolute perfection. Outstanding, incredible and a testament to your fantastic workmanship that they both still are in A1 Concourse condition. Again, thankyou for showing us and thankyou for creating a hobby that all good people love. You guys are the best.
for all that say what a waste letting it sit in garage, this is probably the best way to preserve it. At 4:50 he says the previous paint hair crack with the sun. why would he make same mistake twice.
It cracks me up all these people that say he should drive the car...he bought it, he built it, he turned it into something that makes him ( and alot of people) happy just the way it is...it's modern art...it's not sitting in a field getting worse by the day..it's a perfectly preserved time capsule...if you don't like it build your own
+ perish hilton. ..... that's a true car nut there, he might need a part off of another motor, so keep the lot, right...? .....how crazy is that.......to quote Scottie D.
Smart guy I sold everything 86 mustang,87 Buick gran national, 1968 Impala 72 Cadillac 76 RX4, man I wish I would of kept any of those cars now I'm saving to get a good deal on anything from back then newer cars] are cool but not like this
My aunt had a garage kept '60 that she drove up until the early 90s when she bought a used '87 Caprice and sold the '60 about 5 years later to a guy for $400.
Somehow, the 58 Chevy has become my favorite 50s Chevrolet. It actually is the least "crazy" 58 GM automobile IMO. And, it is quite nice! (not that I would not enjoy a 58 El Dorado).
HEHE take them to a carshow now 50+ years later , and they are still gonna get the same attention.. let these old ladies back in the spotlight :) they still got it
Did this Mox Miller also have a 1968 Camaro funnycar that was black with rainbow colored lace and flames? His name has come up recently in some discussion boards... This is one bad 58!!! Thanks for posting, same goes for the truck!!!
All the 1958 GM cars were real bombs; normally, most car makers would keep a basic design for three years or so with moderate changes before a massive re-design; the 1955-57 GM cars, particularly the Chevrolet are a great example of this. But the radical redesign of the 58s only lasted a year; gee, I wonder why.
Because GM was caught off guard by the Chrysler corp sleeker forward look cars . in personaly love the 58 chevy and wish the body style had lasted longer than it did.
awesome car ! and its great that he doesn't drive it or it would be ruined especially being lacquer paint it would check real bad and run a masterpiece... I totally get it....
There are enough fine examples of factory stock cars out there ;) . Usually the custom builders/hot rodders/lowriders take an old rusted out car and restore it the way they like. Its better than leaving it slowly dying in barn or woods. If all the cars would look the same as they came out from factory, the world would be boring place. I agree that classy original car is nice and cool, but there are plenty of them, they are not extinct.
My dream car is the 1958 Impala.I love the styling of it to the point of heartache of wanting.
I used to work for Larry Watson, when I first saw it I thought he did it.
Very NICE work, that is really GREAT design work ! Thanks
Historic Lowrider samples from the early 60's on the planet, what a Masterpiece
Thanks for this video .58 Impala was one of the best designs ever.
Panel paint job( sometimes called scallups) and "kidney" Hallabrand the best of the late 50's and early 60's,,,loved them then and still do...Thanks
In the past 10 years I've come to see what beautiful cars these are ! Love to have one, but have to many toys now ! 👍😁✌
amazing, just blown away, panel paint is perfect and that shop is insaaaaane too! thats the dream!
1st generation lowrider here!!!!!
MAD PROPS & THIS IS TRULY A PIECE OF AMERICAN AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY ; )
That is a piece of art .the 58 Impala is art

The man with the "W" parts.
I had a 348 with the 3x2s, ran pretty well all right.

Magnifico! Too bad there aren't more cars duplicating this paint- wheel- tire style.
Talk about time capsules!! Beautiful!!👍

This is a awesome video thanks for sharing beautiful collection
Thanks, All, great overview of Machinery…& some History….admittedly, that 58 BELAIR is nice Deaign; esp after the “:Flashy”:1957 BELAIR…….

What a great video! thanks for posting!!
Start it up and drive it man! Life is short, go for it...
IMO, he ruined her by NOT keeping her stock! Typical Left Coast mentality, plus it sounds like he has NOT done much of the work himself?
wow! absolutely mint! thanks for sharing!
Pat.... great documentary. Do more please. Thanks, from Sierra Madre
It cracks me up all these people that say he should drive the car...he bought it, he built it, he turned it into something that makes him ( and alot of people) happy just the way it is...it's modern art...it's not sitting in a field getting worse by the day..it's a perfectly preserved time capsule...if you don't like it build your own
My favorite part "I don't sell nothin"
+ perish hilton. ..... that's a true car nut there, he might need a part off of another motor, so keep the lot, right...? .....how crazy is that.......to quote Scottie D.
Right, you probably can't speak English either. Duh, I don't mean Nuthin by it.
He can’t live forever
Dbl negative... which means he sells things.
Smart guy I sold everything 86 mustang,87 Buick gran national, 1968 Impala 72 Cadillac 76 RX4, man I wish I would of kept any of those cars now I'm saving to get a good deal on anything from back then newer cars] are cool but not like this

It actually is the least "crazy" 58 GM automobile IMO. And, it is quite nice! (not that I would not enjoy a 58 El Dorado).
Absolutely 💯 gorgeous 😍 ❤️
Music: Tioga by the frogmen
Spent 20 years looking for it. God bless Shazam
BEAUTIFUL ,,

Best part: "With my dad".

HEHE take them to a carshow now 50+ years later , and they are still gonna get the same attention.. let these old ladies back in the spotlight :) they still got it
Danny Koker (Count's Customs) still uses similar paint schemes today.
Did this Mox Miller also have a 1968 Camaro funnycar that was black with rainbow colored lace and flames? His name has come up recently in some discussion boards... This is one bad 58!!! Thanks for posting, same goes for the truck!!!
I drive 70s Mopar but I'm a Chevy guy you can guess I love mopowr

58 great n all by it self.
The Blue 58 is one of the 1st
Oh and I forgot to mention how young Pat looks in this video.
There are enough fine examples of factory stock cars out there ;) . Usually the custom builders/hot rodders/lowriders take an old rusted out car and restore it the way they like. Its better than leaving it slowly dying in barn or woods.

I agree that classy original car is nice and cool, but there are plenty of them, they are not extinct.
Like glitter on a rose.
Sweet
cool story 4Sure
Cool.
i agree but disagree, i like a good old classic paint job but once in a while you gotta go all out ... that right there is art :D
You better sell it now, somebodys gonna sell it later
Curious about the 348 in the first iteration.
I think its awesome he doesn't drive it.. its to risky to drive a car like that.. just fun to own it and look at it..
Agreed! Driving it will cause it rust and wear.. better to preserve it and save it
Agreed, it's a beautiful jewel, which normally fine jewelry, clothing and cars won't last under everyday use.
NIIIIICE
What year was this video filmed? Mr Pat doesn’t look old enough to have seen these cars in the early ‘60’s.
Engine is running ?
When was this filmed?
with 3 by 2,is 275 hp?
Anyone know what song is played in the background at about 3:00?
The song is Tioga by The Frogmen, for anyone who cares. Thanks Shazam... two years later.
@@flippintrippin363 Thanks...now 3 years later ; )
I don't sell nuttn....... gold.
Now the question is: Will it shred?!
I've had cars that had to be pushed to get them out of the garage too.....
What year was this filmed? Where are these cars now?
+Seth Thomas I* had this vid at least 20 years ago , so at a guess i would say Pat Filmed this around 1988.
The beginning showed 1995...
Don’t ever split the two vehicles up
Anyone knows who is playing guitar at 8.00? Sounds like a Freddie King clone.
