Yeah, I have forgotten how far automobiles have come...my present every day car is so quiet and very fast, compared to my 57 year old Chevy Impala, however once I get behind the wheel of my Impala, I"m 21 again, not 73......I flip the top ands its more fun, then I can describe to you....

A high school buddy drove a '58 Impala with a 348 - he said you could see the gas gauge needle move toward empty as you cruised down the Interstate. Of course, in those days in Tennessee the Interstate speed limit was 75mph and he was probably doing 85, maybe more.

In 1958, gas was a whopping 18 cents a gallon.

Had a '60 Impala hardtop back in ancient times. 348 with 3 2bbl carbs. I think Pontiac called the same setup "tri-power." Had a great deal of torque but didn't wrap to high rpm's quickly enough to be very quick off the line. My ex-wife's '68 Camaro Rally Sport with 375 hp, 396 c.i. had similar issues, though the 4 peed tranny helped a lot.

Too bad you were more concerned with yourself and your vanity plate than the car itself. Nice looking ragtop deserves more exposure than one out of three.

When I met my first wife, she was driving a green 1960 Impala convertible. It was love at first sight (I was driving a rhd 1954 Morris Minor convertible roughly the size of the Chevy’s trunk).
