In 1958, General Motors celebrated its 50th anniversary by introducing a range of special models, including the top-of-the-line Chevrolet Bel Air Impala. The 1958 Impala, a landmark in automotive design, featured a unit chassis with X-crossed rails and a coil spring suspension system, replacing the old perimeter frame and leaf springs. With over 55,000 convertibles and 125,000 coupes sold, the Impala quickly helped GM reclaim its status as America’s top automotive brand.
