Blue Ribbon Beauties Classic 1950's Chevrolet 1959 Impala Sport Sedan Start of the Modern Classic Era Experts consider 1955 to be the start of Chevrolet's “Modern Classic” era. Not only did it feature all new styling but it introduced the 162 horsepower small-block V-8. Chevrolet leaped past Ford into the #1 spot with their best sales year to date. 1959 also featured all new styling plus the introduction of Chevrolet's most famous model line-Impala. There was no mistaking these cars, with their acres of glass and cats eye tail lights. The Glass Palace Bold new styling for the 1959 Impala Sedan included wrap-around front and back windshields. No car has ever had as much glass. With its unique tail lights, overhanging roof and bat fin rear, it was a great example of the outrageous styling of that year. At $2782 for the V-8 version, the Impala Sedan was one of the reasons Chevrolet had another #1 finish, just ahead of Ford.
