1961 Chevrolet Impala

The car was originally a 6 cylinder with a three speed standard shift transmission and was built in Oakland. California. It has an older restoration and was not a trailer queen but was used two or three time a year so the paint shows some minor wear from use.  

It has the flowing upgrades.
