1961 Chevrolet Impala SS

Why This Car Is Special

The Chevrolet Impala is a full-size car built by Chevrolet for model years 1958–85, 1994–96, and since 2000 onwards. The Impala was Chevrolet’s most expensive passenger model through 1965, and had become the best-selling automobile in the United States.

The Impala was restyled on the GM B platform for the first time for 1961. The new body styling was more trim and boxy than the 1958–1960 models. Sport Coupe models featured a “bubbletop” roof line style for 1961.

You can own this legend today as we have what the Consignor says is a real 1961 Chevrolet Impala SS Bubbletop for sale here at Continental Classic Cars. It has a 348 cubic inch engine and an aluminum intake and Edelbrock 4-barrel carb with a fake set of Tri-Power carbs in the trunk, as well as a 4-speed, and that rare tach on the column.
