"A four-door, full-size family car from the 1960s in this condition is unusual, to say the least."

Description

With just over 63,000 km in sixty years, this pristine Impala qualifies in the absolute low-mileage league. The original sales document from 1962 is preserved showing that the car was sold new to a customer in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The car came to Sweden in 2011 and has since had quite a few owners. Most of them were traders and the car has probably rolled very few miles during its Swedish time. On the equipment side, the car is pretty standard for an Impala from that era. Power steering and brakes, 283" engine with two-speed automatic, nothing more, nothing less. The colour is called Adobe beige and the interior is in textile and vinyl.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The 283" engine is coupled to a two-stage Powerglide; the gearbox has recently been rebuilt; the power steering and power brakes are flawless; the engine compartment is in excellent condition with nearly everything in its proper place, including the DC generator; and it is neat and orderly down to the smallest of details.

  • Interior condition:

    Very good condition original carpeting and upholstery. Everything around it, including the dashboard and steering wheel, is flawless and shiny. The sunshade and headliner are both original and in excellent shape. To see some minor wear and tear on the front seat, you almost need to use a magnifying glass. The driver's door armrest falls under the same category. The door cards are in the best condition possible aside from that. With great care taken to prevent any holes from being made, a more modern stereo has been installed under the dashboard with speakers on the parcel shelf.

    The original spray paint that was common at the time makes the boot space look incredibly nice. Three thin plastic mats make up the simplest design possible; everything else was an optional extra. The original jack and spare wheel are available.

  • Exterior condition:

    Although the car appears to be white, it is actually Adobe beige. The exterior has been repainted at some point, and the new paint is flawless throughout, whereas the old paint can still be seen in places like door gaps. Here, bodywork putty from the factory has been smeared all over it, some paint has gotten on places it shouldn't have, and so on. The fact that it appeared this way on these cars back then supports the idea that they are untouched originals. The delicate rear trunk is flawless at the sill and wing edges, and the chrome, lamp surrounds, and trimmings are all in excellent condition. You can tell that this is the original design and has never been altered by looking closely at the inside of the bonnet and the trunk lid. The original hubcaps are in excellent condition, though one cap has cable ties on it, probably to reduce noise.

    It is clean and undamaged underneath, and there is undercarriage protection.

    General condition: A four-door standard car that is in such exceptional fine and nearly untouched low mileage condition after all this time is remarkable, if not almost unbelievable.

  • General condition:

    It is remarkable, if not almost unbelievable, that a regular four-door standard car has survived in this condition for so long. It is an exceptional fine and practically untouched low miler.
