1960 Chevrolet Impala Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a reviewAfter making a huge, kind of gaudy splash in 1959, the 1960 Chevrolet Impala had a more subtle look. Of course, this isn't saying much. Still covered in ornate tailfins and chrome, the car was still eye-catchingly gorgeous, but not quite as much "styling" as the 1959 model. 204,467 sport coupes were produced, and 79,903 convertibles, making it the most popular car in the country. The base engine stayed the same for the third straight year: a 235.5 I6 rated at 145 horsepower. The fuelies were gone, leaving the 348-ci V8 rated at 335 as the most powerful engine. Other engines included a 283-ci V8 (170 bhp), a 283-ci V8 (185 bhp), a 283-ci V8 (230 bhp), and two other 348-ci V8s rated at 250 and 320 horsepower.

It was my first love of a Car. It had Style, Comfort, Power in a 348ci Turboglide. It was expensive to Maintain because of Mileage over 100,000. In her day was the Top of Chevrolet vehicles. Nice roomy interior. The Impala was a very stylish vehicle & stood out from the crowd.Nov 20, 2011

I have the 2 door model with power brakes and steering. Compared to todays cars there is a marked difference but if compared to models of its era it would have to be considered as much smoother than most. My rating above reflects it compared to cars of its era. Feb 10, 2007

I was the proud owner of a 1960 Chevy two-door sport coup. Dual antennas on the back and dual rear view mirrors on the front fenders. The streamline styling made it look like it could fly. The dash was designed with unbelievable balance and beauty. The steering wheel was georgous. One can only hope that some day Chevrolet will again build such cars of elegance. Oct 31, 2006

I am searching for a picture(s).
I am searching for pictures of a 1960 Impala Sport Coupe, Sateen Silver, red with white trim. As a tribute to my elder brother I am putting together a pictural history of the Chevy's owned by our Dad from 1952 to 1960. Our father was a new Chevy every two years or so man. His Chevy's included a '52 Bel Air, '55 Bel Air, '57 Impala, '59 Impala and the only car of the lot that I remember, the strikingly beautiful '60 Impala SC. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
