The Story

When looking at the Impala’s third generation, created from 1961-64, the 1962 model is often seen as the most desirable from a styling standpoint. At the time it arrived, these sporty Impalas had stepped into the place once occupied by the likes of the fuel-injected 1957 models. Unlike 1961’s quiet introduction, Chevrolet actively promoted this release with small 409 displacement callouts with crossed flags on the front fenders and fresh Impala SS identification on the rear quarter panels and decklid. This is complemented by the upper body chrome side strip, the lower rocker moldings, dual rearview mirrors, Chevrolet crests on the front and rear lid edges, and the full-length bright tail lamp panel.

This 1962 Impala Convertible offered here is beautifully finished in Roman Red paint complemented by a red vinyl bucket seat interior. Opening the hood after seeing the small front fender 409 crossed-flag emblems, the classic 409 CI engine was instantly recognizable by the W-shaped heads and valve covers, seen here featuring the 409 engine decals and the dual-snorkel air cleaner. Adding to its desirability is its 4-speed manual transmission. Additional options include air conditioning, power top, power steering, power brakes, console and AM radio.

Finishing off the car’s appointments are the three-point spinner hubcaps and period-appearance whitewall tires. With its stunning good looks and 409 CI dual-quad power, this 1962 Impala is ready to be enjoyed.
