The rear is sitting way too low, looks like the rear leaf springs are broken!
It has hydraulics. It is raised up while driving.

Beautiful set. What's it get, 5 gallons to the mile?
Oh hell not, they get between 18-25 MPG. They actually got good gas mileage for cars in their day.

The '60 Impala is actually a '59. (The third one down)
The ‘59 and ‘ 60 both had those flat fins. Nowhere in sight on this one.

Yes, but the '59 fins had a smooth curvature to them. The '60 had an angle/bend to them.

The tail lights have been changed but the car is a '59. Google a '59 and a '60 and observe from the rear. It is a '59.
Nope, that is definitely a 59', I had one. The fins on the 60' are angular.

Beautiful car, beautiful photographs. But I was immediately struck by the oil spots on the driveway in front of the car; hope they didn't come from it. I would clone them out or take photos somewhere else.

Thank you for bringing this beautiful convertible to the site, my dad passed away 1year ago today and as long as I can remember he had a red Chevy impala convertible. Seeing this car brings back great memories from driving to the lake with the top down and all the way to his sisters house in Tennessee, again with the top down the whole way, and he was always so happy and proud to drive the Southport little princess in the parades. Thank you again for this pic and cherish this car as long as you can. I miss you Dad

Awesome shots of the 63! My oldest brother had one but it was a different color. Takes me back in time.

Dude, it's a lowrider! It also has hydraulic suspension so it can go bouncy bounce.
I thought a low rider was when the whole car was low, front & back. Where's the lights on the chassis that shine on the road? Yes, i understand the suspension is hydraulic but the car looks like hell with the rear almost touching the ground and the front high in the air. Hmmm, maybe it does have broken leaf springs.
Wow! just what i always wanted, a car that goes bouncy bounce.
