First year for Impala. Also, new for this year were an X frame replacing the perimeter frame, and full-coil or air ride suspension systems replacing leaf springs at the rear. This car would have originally been equipped with a 283 or a 348 cu. in. engine.
I love the low sweep of the rear fins and rear fender skirts on this 1960 Chevrolet Impala “Sport Coupe” in the parking area for Austin’s Lonestar Round Up Custom Car Show. Is there space for even one more adornment?
Bastrop, Texas, has a terrific car show each year, and this 1940 Standard Coupe caught my eye.
I was thrilled to find this amazingly desirable Hemi ‘Cuda behind a mechanic’s garage in S. Austin. I don’t think many were manufactured but it would have had the 426 cu in hemispherical head V8 that produces prodigious power at high revs. Love the wheels, the driving lights, the scoop and color. I’m all in!
