Great story, absolutely beautiful car.
I came home from the Hospital in a 52 Olds 88 in the late 50s.
Awesome car
A story well worth listening to. I remember I was 10 yrs old coming out of school when I saw the 62 Impala for the first time. One of my favorites.
Such a great story!
Great story. 👍
What a beautiful story, I still have my '65 GTO convertible which was my first car, bought it in the early 70's and glad I kept it.
My uncles first car was a new 57' Chevy BelAir, then a 60' Chevy Impala, then a 63' Impala.
that was my first car. i am 67 in sept. it was the same color as yours. mine was a 283 2drht with black int. my daddy was a used car salesman so i grew up on a car lot and became a professional transmission rebuilder. wish i had my car back,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Amazing Story, so proud for you and your wife, you right that car is part of your family, to keep a car that long, It has to be very special,Amazing story hope you Folks enjoy alot of years in your Beautiful 62 IMPALA, THANKS for sharing, Great Video!
,#100 !..….my uncle brought his new 62 red Impala conv. to our home to show us..I was 5... It was something else 🎉
That's an awesome Car, I bought a '64 SS from the Original Owner back in '82, he didn't like the '64 Red so he had it painted '62 Fire Engine Red just like this right after he bought it, mine had White interior, unfortunately my Ex Wife hounded me daily about that Car so I finally sold it, I wished I just would have divorced her first and I'd still have the Car.
Outstanding, l had a 62 Impala sport coupe black in color, but it was a 283 powerglide.
My Boss was telling me a while back he had a 62 impala convertible 409 4 speed when the Gas crunch hit in the 70s he had to sell it ! Can you imagine what that's Worth today ! 😥💔
I learned how to drive with a exact duplicate of this car... base 283 2 barrel (black with red interior) only thing that was extra was somebody had put duel crome pipes out the back (and it sounded great!) ...manuel stearing and brakes! :) ... it was my mom's second hand car... and a great one!

that was a great story. I'd like to hear if he drove it continuously since new or is spent some time resting in the garage. also what it looked like before he restored it.
