A beautifully finished 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible, presented in Frost Blue with a matching blue interior, will be featured at an upcoming November auction. This two-door classic represents one of Chevrolet’s most distinctive designs, combining late-1950s style with a well-documented 348 cubic-inch V8 powertrain.
Under the hood, the 348 CID engine features a Carter four-barrel carburetor and an electronic ignition setup. The block stamp “T1117H” corresponds to a 250-horsepower rating, indicating an assembly date of November 17. The engine is paired with a 350 Turbo automatic transmission, and factory-style components such as the correct generator, OE radiator, and shroud contribute to its authentic presentation.
This Impala is equipped with power steering and manual drum brakes, along with several factory-style comfort and convenience features. The power-operated convertible top and power seat enhance drivability, while under-dash lighting, seatbelts, and a tinted windshield complete the interior details. A day/night rearview mirror, dual outside mirrors, and a pushbutton AM radio add to its period appeal.
Externally, the car displays full wheel covers, wide whitewall tires, fender skirts, and dual rear antennas, reflecting the high-style image the 1959 Impala was known for. Inside the trunk, a correct mat, spare tire, and jack assembly remain in place, along with hood insulation and windshield washers that highlight the thorough attention to detail in its restoration.
The 1959 model year marked a design turning point for Chevrolet, with sweeping tailfins and bold proportions that made the Impala instantly recognizable. With its original-style 348 engine and a clean, well-finished presentation, this Frost Blue convertible stands as a strong example of late-1950s American automotive luxury. Collectors attending the November auction will find this Impala an especially appealing opportunity to own a fully equipped classic.
