Old Cars Reader Wheels: 1961 Chevrolet Impala Restomod
One reader’s 1961 Impala is a cherished family heirloom bonding two generations together.
We love stories about multi-generational love affairs with old cars and how they strengthen family connections. Jeff Moen is keeping those family bonds secured with his dad while enjoying one of the finest looking pieces of iron Chevrolet ever produced.
"My Dad did a four year frame-off build that he finished in 2009. He showed the car for 9 years winning a garage full of trophies all across the Midwest. In 2018, I retired from the US Navy after 30 years of service and he gave me the car as a retirement gift."
"He and I drove 1800 miles in 3 days from South Dakota to Virginia mostly on back roads and had an amazing trip. I've been showing the car here on the East Coast for 5 years and doing quite well. Last year my dad came out to visit, and we took the car to Pottstown, PA for an event. That's where these pictures are from. We're looking forward to more events or even the Power Tour in the future."
"The plan down the road is to give the car to my son and grandson to keep the car in the family."
