1960 Chevrolet Impala 4 door sport sedan (part 1 of 2)

As a non-American guy who happens to love American cars I find quite odd how everybody writes comment full of love and appreciation for these cars but then, are you the same people who let these cars disappear? Pontiac is no more, Oldsmobile is no more. If you liked them so much as you write here why did you abandon them and started buying Hondas and Toyotas?

[Seattlecarnut]

Another nice looking car. Another survivor. I've always liked original, unrestored cars. Although I've never cared for the Panoramic windscreen, I do like the Panoramic rear window and the hardtop style of the car.

So sexy.

Union made

The nicest thing about that engine is that you can actually get to everything. My mom had one of those cars with that six and it was a piece of cake to work on. You also didn't have to worry about the dash cracking in the sun. Those were the days when they made 'em good.

[tmangos1]

Is this not a 4 door hardtop? No B pillar post. Great car and great video! My uncle had a 2 door convertible with the same colour scheme.

[Turkeydoodlers]

Not like the junk they make today. Good quality made in the good USA !

[514570HP]

Great car !!! Great video !!!

This is the way to show a car !!!

Congratulations !!

Beautiful 60 Impala, original, they way they should be! I have a 59 Mercury m100 truck, then again I also have a 72 Volvo, but I like the Volvo's for the same reasons you like your 60 impala, it's well built and dependable.

Finnnnaaaalllllyyyy.... a white guy who knows how to take care of it! Thank you, your my hero!

[charlesnorte]

Creo que fué la peor época de la industria norteamericana, carrocerías enormes, muy pesados, gran cilindrada, alto consumo, pocos adelantos técnicos respecto as sus antecesores y los detalles de confort había que pagarlos aparte.Pienso que los europeos eran más racionales y toda estas experiencias aprovechadas por los japoneses Espero que no me estrangulen por este comentario.....

[ltlieu61]

great video,,,my dad had a 59, black with red interior,,,,you have a beautiful car...one question...i try to pick up all tidbits of old chevy cars, how would i know by looking at the trunk emblem it was a six cylinder? the cross flags always represented v-8s, or later yrs super sports....thanks...

[Tomylonely]

Gorgeous car!

Is this really in original condition?

I mean, where in heaven you can find that a nice car???

Ouh man I´m really jealous...

Original color, stickers and everything.

It looks way better than most new cars nowadays.

Nice vids.

[aberdurant]

what a great car

[Trance88]

Awesome car. Amazing how original the car is. Does this use leaded gas?

[rockabillycat1954]

@Trance88 can't get leaded gas anymore, it doesn't exist. all that's available is typical unleaded.

[BuzzyFredrick]

what is the shifter pattern for the standard shift. Is it a low 1st gear and then up in sequence or all over back and forth to shift. 2spd tranny?

[drh4683]

@BuzzyFredrick

It's a 3 speed only.

The shifting is in the form of an "H" pattern. Consider the center of the "H" is neutral and this is how you shift to the different gears: Pulling the shifter toward you and up is reverse, toward you and down is 1st, pushing the shifter away and up is 2nd, away and down is 3rd.

[BuzzyFredrick]

@drh4683 Amazing .. I thought you were going to break off the arm switching into first :-)

[christich99]

@drh4683 So it is kinda like the 'H' patterns on Chevy cars that have manuals nowadays? 

[Nintendoman2020]

Great Impala Doug! My dad has a 2008 Impala. They definately don't make them like they used to!

[RVDMISSISSAUGAKID]

Complete with original factory car radio!!!

[siemenstraffic]

You do the greatest restoration work! Keep up the good work and only drive this nice car on sunny days!

[clydesight]

The fabric for the seats and door panels, in this car and all GM's, Ford and Chry Co's of the period were made of Frabrikoid vinyl which was produced by Dupont Fabrikoid Division. Manufactured in Newburgh, NY. Later in the early 1962 Dupont sold this division to Stauffer Chemical. The plant in Newburgh closed in 1976. With the operation shifting to South Carolina.

[JeffN727]

Sweet ride!

[schomminater]

I try too to always buy American. My vehicles are as follows

1981 Pontiac Bonneville. Very good condition.

1985 Chevrolet Caprice. Excellent condition.

2008 Chevrolet Impala. The winter car so the others dont have to be subjected to the rust of winter.

What do you drive in the winter?

[tb40ford]

Awesome Car Doug.

I agree with your thoughts on all the nostalgia this car stands for.

I too love the cars and everything else of the by gone times.Times we never had the privilege of living.
