Wonder Bar radio (station seeking by push of a button...) and the under dash chrome vacuum ash tray. A small chrome fan shaped tray with a hole in the back... flick your ashes in the hole, or slip the butt of the cigarette in the hole. A vacuum hose sucks them in and deposits them in a closed canister on the firewall under the hood.
Actually both those options were added in 55 or 56, at least by 57. Yes, Impala new in 1958. Highest model in 1957... Bel Air.
I bought a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door hard top in 1970 for $695. 36,000 original miles, 327 cu in, factory continental kit, wonder bar radio, vacuum ash tray, fingerhut star embossed clear vinyl seat covers on since new.
One of my best buys ever.
