    Probably took the restrictor plate off to give the red dragon bit more juice.

    I've always thought that the 58 Impala was a much prettyer car than the 57.

    I always thought wipers were optional on my cars. I mostly use Rain-x. It would take more than no wipers to keep me off the road.

    I think it might be better than Darryl Starbird's Superfleck Moonbird.

    There is NO state in the USA where wipers are optional on cars that were manufactured with them.

    Maybe it's not street legal because it isn't registered or insured yet?

    You woul be surprised at what my friends and I have gotten away with because we were nice to the cops and not jerks out causing them some grief. If a squad car broke down on our cruise night they knew they could get help from us. I will not say anymore than that.

    What a beautiful car. I can remember people saying how homely '58s were but they were wrong and this car is living proof of that. What a beautiful car!!!!!! :cool:
