    When I was a kid one of my friend’s mom had a ‘61 Impala bubble top with a 348 engine. When dad bought it he traded a 1960 Falcon with a 3 speed manual transmission that she could not master driving. They drove it until about 1970 when it was totally rusted out. They sold it to a neighbor kid who immediately hot rodded it until he blew it up.

    Easily the most gorgeous machine to come from Detroit in 1961 and the epitome of the late great (1958-1964) Chevrolet years.

    Had a black '61 Impala with the 348 in the winter of '71-'72. Usta park the Vette & buy a $50-100 car, put recap snow tires on it & drive it for the winter. Bought my '61 for $50 from the neighbors (it'd been parked in their back yard for a few years, with no reverse), put the recaps on it along with straight pipes & drove it for the winter with no reverse. Only fast food was McD's. Filled the back seat up with the bags, wrappers & Coke cups (X's 2 with my girlfriend) and come Spring the back seat & floor was full to the top of the seats! Drove it to the boneyard in April when the Vette was refired. Deja vu all over again.

    I had a 62 Impala Sport Sedan. The early 60s Impalas were probably one of the best cars in most categories at the time. That car seemed priced to sell.

  • @michaellindquist31
    @michaellindquist31 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Jim Davis is right. Needs the V with the flags on the grill and the trunk. That car was built originally with the 283. And yes, why the 348 when the 360hp 409 was released mid year for the '61.

    This vehicle has a 283 trunk emblem on it that appears to be original. I would have to take a real hard look at this car.

    • @billdescoteaux
      @billdescoteaux 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, and in the front at the top of the grille as well. I wonder if the numbers match for a factory-installed original 348. Given that the block is date coded '60 (even though '61's started being produced in August that year), perhaps this was originally a 283 car.

    Nice ride!!! I was having a little trouble seeing it with my old eyes, but does this car have that metal flake, sparkly carpet? Another curiosity... Is that a real spare tire, or is it a space saver? It looks like a full sized tire, but the way it fits on top of its shelf makes me wonder if the trunk area is really that large.

ITS WEIRD QUARTER PANEL AS IF THE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT A WING. AND THAT'S WHY THE TOP GOT THAT NAME BUBBLE TOP. AND WEIRDER WAS THE 61 CADILLAC AS IT TOO HAD A BUBBLE TOP WITH WINGS.

    @RamblinAround It takes someone that simply can't think outside the box, and wants to save a buck or two. My brother has a 60, and got another 60 for a parts car. The parts car had a 348, and he sold it so he can put a 350 in his. No words to describe the gay in that move.
