Message: Bel Air Impala Bob Jackman is correct. Even if Chevrolet called it a Bel Air Impala in 1958, there are 2 distinct cars, a Bel Air 2 dr hardtop, two-toned like the Blue and Ivory model, and an Impala, painted like the Black car shown, or two toned with roof only a different color. The bodies are different. There has been no model of a 1958 Bel Air, that I know of. This post is just for clarification.
