The Appeal
If you think of a '60s American car, chances are the Impala is what comes to mind. Sweeping lines, a wide stance, lashes of chrome. It's an unmistakable presence, and a presence that's increasingly desirable as cars become increasingly homogenised and simplified. Built to lap up the miles, the Impala's laid back character makes the ideal cruiser.
This example has been imported from the USA and is now fully registered on UK plates. The underside has been oil-sealed whilst on the lift to help preserve its condition, and an MOT was completed in 2024 - now expired - with the tester reportedly commenting on how clean the car was. Power brakes and power steering have been added, but save for these, it's a remarkably original car.
