In 1958 Impala was a trim of the Bel Air, it became its own model only in 1959.

bullfidde is right.
In 1958 there were the models
Bel Air - Biscayne - Impala (from 'cheap' to luxury or from no chrome to al lot of chrome)
Del Ray - a lot of chrome but not as luxury as the Impala

The Impala was the top model of the three (6 taillights) and a lot of more chrome trim than Bel Air and Biscayne (they had 4 tailligts)

According to my info the Chevrolet-range in 1958 had the Delray, Biscayne and Bel Air (cheap, middle and top of te line) with the name Impala used for extra luxury Bel Airs, oly in hardtop coupe and convertible. The car shown here doesn't have the wide V on front of the bonnet, so this will be a 6 cylinder version, therefore [1747] (or if that V is just missing and the car does have a V8, which might be audible in the movie, it's a [1847].

Sorry, what do these numbers mean?
This car definately had a V8 in it and was mildly customised involving removal of some external badges. Wikipedia describes the 1958 Impala as:- 'sporty trim package created for Bel Air coupes and convertibles' 'the Impala became a separate model in 1959'
whether that means it should be known as a Belair or Impala, i'm not entirely sure..

DynaMike. This is a mild-custom. The hood-ornament is removed and the holes filled (nosed), -same with the deck lid (decked). The doorhandles are also shaved and the same with the impala-badges and crossed flags on the rearquarters and chrome-louvers on the sides of the fenders (just behind the headlights). The stock taillights are switched for 59 Cadillac units. It also rides om chrome reversed wheels and on a rake, has a very mild custom paitjob with some red scallops and fogging and a nice, white ticknroll interior (which Debbie really loves..).

Also this was definatly a V8-car, -a 348 to be exact.

Oh, and for 1958, Impala was part of the Bel Air range, but the 2d HT Bel Air and 2d HT Impala are two different bodystyles as the Impala has a lower roofline amongst other things. Impala only came as 2d HT and 2d convertible.
Chevrolet shares much of the body with Pontiac in 1958. Pontiac had a counterpart to the Impala in the Bonneville.

Steve (Ron Howard): I've decided I'm gonna let you take care of my car for me while I'm away, at least until Christmas. See, I'm coming back for a couple of weeks at Christmas. Now, I've got some very simple instructions for you, here's the keys. First of all, only 30-weight Castrol-R. Now, I've written the tyre pressure and stuff on a pad in the glove... are you listening?
Kurt (Richard Dreyfuss): Hey, what's wrong? Are you crying?
Toad (Charles Martin Smith): I can't believe it! I don't know what to say! I'll love and protect this until death to us part! This is a super-fine machine! This might even be better than Darryl Starbird's Superfleck Moon... it is! It's better than Darryl Starbird's Superfleck Moonbird!

Toad manages to pick up a nice girl in it:

Debbie (Candy Clark): Is this your car?
Toad: Yeah. I'm Terry the... well, they usually call me Terry the Tiger.
Debbie: It's really tough-looking. Can it lay rubber?
Toad: Yeah, I got a 327 Chevy in it, it's got 6 Strombergs.
Debbie: That's bitchin' tuck-and-roll, you know I really love the feel of tuck-and-roll upholstery.
Toad: You do? Well come in, I'll let you feel it. I mean you can touch it if you want... um, I'll let you feel the upholstery.
Debbie: OK.
(She gets in)
Debbie: Peel out.
Toad: Peel out. I just love it when guys peel out.
(Toad revs the engine and does a bit of wheel-spin)

Absolutely beyond all doubt a 1958 Chevy Impala, with six '59 caddy tailights glued over the original Chevy ones.

Problem is, if you look at the car featured on the web sites dedicated to it, Toad was telling tall tales with the 327 and 6 strombergs as the car had a factory 348 big block V8 with 3 dueces. It was a 1958 Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe. I am in love with these cars. The 59 Tail lights were clayed onto the 58 Chevy tail lights and yes the trim had all been shaved.

:love: I love these cars too. The Impala was launched in '58 as a limited edition, and the six-tailights made it a trademark. My personal favourite is the '60 model. BTW in a classic American classified ad, I saw one of these worth less than what it was worth due to a dodgy paint job.
