Named after the graceful African antelope, the Chevy Impala has been a full-size and midsize nameplate in the Bowtie’s hierarchy for years. It’s been intermittently seen between 1957 and 2020. Perhaps the Impala’s greatest claim to fame is its prominence in the hit TV series Supernatural as the car of choice for the Winchester Brothers. That car was, in fact, a 1967 Impala, but a hardtop. Meanwhile, this car is a 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible, with all information as reported by the current owner. We’re told that it’s got plenty of upgrades and enhancements, so let’s learn more.
Widely remembered as the car driven by the Winchester brothers in the hit series Supernatural, the Chevy Impala was the Bowtie’s full-size car between 1958 and 1976. Then, the Impala downsized in response to changing market conditions, before finally retiring in 2020. The Impala, named after the African antelope of the same name, was envisioned to be the staple of American family motoring. Hence, Chevy offered it as a coupe, convertible, sedan, station wagon and hardtop. This particular 26,500-mile 1960 Chevrolet 4 Door Impala Sedan comes from the nameplate’s second generation, and is a four-door sedan. Since it’s said to be with original mileage, this car is great for a classic car aficionado who cares about the finer details.
Playing the role of Chevy’s flagship offering between 1958 and 1985, the Impala was aptly named after the African antelope of the same name. The Impala was meant to embody grace, which is an interesting way to describe an automaker’s most land yacht-like vehicle. Over time, the Impala would be made as a coupe, convertible, hardtop, and station wagon. This particular 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible comes from the last year of the third generation, and got a full frame-off restoration in 2020. The car has received a few useful upgrades as well including a full hydraulic system, making it a wonderfully charming classic car to add to your collection – or start a collection with.
The ’50s was a time to be alive. With smooth tunes and otherworldly automotive design, cars of the time truly reflected a time of growth and post-war creativity. Present today is a ’50s American icon, which takes shape with this lovely 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe. This classic beauty is a clean example that retains all its iconic factory looks and is looking for a new custodian to cruise slow and low across your preferred B roads.
The C6 Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most loved generations of the storied supercar-challenging American sportscar. It has the power to humble even the most demanding drivers and singlehandedly manages to offer a compelling alternative to so many European alternatives. If you love the famous Corvette, then you’re likely going to love this incredible example. Our featured car is a 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z16 Grand Sport, which has been lovingly preserved, as the owner reports that it remains in all-original condition. And, with just 13,689 miles on it, this could be the opportunity to own a relatively low-mileage example of modern-classic ’Vette.
A first-generation Chevy Corvette is a fantastic car to own and drive. It’s a piece of American automotive history, after all. Produced between 1953 and 1962, over 69,000 were made. It was also the only Corvette era to come with a six-cylinder engine choice, something that Chevy quickly realized didn’t suit a flagship sports car. Thankfully, all Corvettes thereafter have packed a V8. Many people nowadays want an original first-gen Corvette, but there are some who love restomods. If that sounds familiar, have we got the car for you! Say Howdy to this Pennsylvania-based 1960 Chevrolet Corvette LS3 Restomod that’s got just 1,000 miles after its comprehensive makeover. There’s a lot to learn about this car, so let us give you the highlights, but don’t forget to shoot us a DM or give us an old-fashioned phone call if you’re interested.

There comes a time when the automotive world stands still as manufacturers churn out a car that takes the world by storm and changes the automotive landscape forever. Turn back the clock to the ’50s and Ford did just that with the release of the legendary Ford Thunderbird. From its iconic design to its performance, the Ford Thunderbird was a looker and a performance machine that helped the ’50s American automotive marketplace turn it up a notch. Present today is this lovely 1956 Ford Thunderbird. This ’50s American automotive icon has a reported 13,293 miles on the clock and looks factory fresh and ready for its new custodian.
The first generation Ford Mustang was a smooth cruiser when it had an in-line six-cylinder engine under the hood. Frugal yet fun motoring was possible in this pioneering pony car. Yet, when equipped with the larger V8 engines, the Mustang turned into a true thoroughbred of the racetrack or drag strip. Cars such as this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA offered thrilling acceleration and a stirring V8 soundtrack, paired with the relative ease of an automatic transmission. The engine’s massive power and torque figures meant that even with the slushbox, performance was impressive. This particular car has covered 51,000 miles, comes with the GTA Package and is up for sale in Bownstown Township, Michigan. You’d better act fast to grab it.
