1958 Chevy Impala - SouthSide Blues

The '58 Chevy Impala is a unique "animal." There was nothing like the new Impala prior to its unveiling and this year's model was totally different than the restyled and much sleeker Impalas that followed it. George Molina, a mortgage planner from Fullerton, California, is one of many who fell under the '58's spell. The 34-year-old member of SouthSide Car Club has been lowriding since he was 20 and claims that he builds cars for the "challenge."

A three-year challenge was on as soon as George returned home from Colorado, where an online search had led him to this '58 for sale for $5,000. Thanks to his brother Manuel and his SouthSide club "brothers," as well as those fine craftsmen listed in the Tech Specs, the hardtop couldn't be stopped and "SouthSide Blues" was complete (to the tune of $50,000). Good job, George.
