I graduated high school with a kid who lived not too far from me in my home town. I
was tagged for college, but he immediately went to work selling for a remodeling company, aluminum siding, etc., and he came by the house in a brand new, black, loaded up 1958 Chevrolet Impala convertible. The car looked huge when compared with all the 1955-57 Chevies of the period that the kids were drooling over. Hindsight
says I prefer that car, to the 1959 and 1960 models that came right after, and I had
a 1960. I thought the 196l's were clean looking (my grandfather bought one), but then
the 1962's went back to bulbous. It is weird how wildly Chevy styling changed in that
period.
