One of Chevrolet’s most popular cars in 1958 was the Impala. It was the highest-priced model available, but it was also designed with luxury in mind. The car was available with a variety of features including power steering, dual-circuit brakes and an optional four-speed "Powerglide" transmission. On top of this, the Impala had a notable road presence with its large chrome grille and wrap-around taillights.
The Biscayne series was a less expensive model, but should not be overlooked. It came equipped with a V8 engine and most models offered power brakes and a standard three-speed manual transmission. And it was still an attractive car, as it had a novel semi-fastback styling.
The Delray series was yet another one of Chevrolet’s offerings in 1958, and it was an economy car that was priced even lower than the Biscayne. It also featured a V8 engine and while options were limited, the Delray was still an attractive option considering its price.
One would be remiss to not mention the iconic Corvette. It was first introduced in 1953 and the '58 model was the first major redesign of the car. Available in two body styles, it offered either a six-cylinder or a V8 engine and came with a standard three-speed manual transmission. The Corvette was the performance car of the time and is now remembered as one of the most iconic cars ever.
Overall, the cars from Chevrolet in 1958 offered something for everyone. Whether you were looking for a luxury car, an economy car or a performance car, the options were abundant. And considering the technological advancements of the vehicles, it comes as no surprise that Chevy was the best-selling car brand in the United States in 1958. The cars from Chevrolet in this era still maintain their influence even today.
