I spent the afternoon retrieving scanned files from an old backup hard-drive. Some of the files go back to 2001. A quick look tells me my memory is going to be taxed recognizing some of the places and subjects.
I do recall this cloudy April 6th of 2013 when I found some old cars lined up along the curb in the Old Town Plaza. Captured with my Argus C3 and the Sandmar 35mm lens.
For this subject, Google Search is a big help in retrieving some details:

Key Details of the 1958 Impala
• Debut Year: 1958 was the inaugural year for the Impala nameplate, which was originally introduced as the top-of-the-line trim for the Chevrolet Bel Air line.
• Design Features: This model is known for its pillarless coupe design, quadruple headlights, and distinctive triple taillights. The specific color of the car in the image appears to be Silver Blue Poly.
• Performance: These classic cars were often powered by a 348-cubic-inch "W" engine or a 283ci V8, with some high-end versions featuring "Tri-Power" (three two-barrel carburetors).
• Historical Significance: It was a "one-year-only" body style, as the Impala was redesigned for the 1959 model year, making the '58 a highly sought-after collector's item. "
