southern Florida where the previous owner exercised it rather
regularly on fair weather days with excursions as far as Fort
Lauderdale to Miami and back. He had owned and meticulously cared
for this Impala for 26 years! Upon arrival, this nearly all
original car was showing some mild patina, particularly with the
exterior paint. So in May 2017, it was delivered to Donovan Auto
Body for an expert tear down of all exterior trim, chrome, and
removal of all weather stripping. After a careful soda blasting
down to bare metal, it was sealed and received several primer coats
from expert sanding efforts to provide a brilliantly smooth finish
for the top coats of base & clear. Absolutely NO rust was present
and only minimal bodywork was required to prepare this enormous GM
body! Pictures of this process are available for the sale. The
final finish was fully color sanded and highly polished to show
quality results! It was completed in November 2017 at a cost of
nearly $15,000 with all new weather stripping installed throughout!
Inside, the interior remains factory original with exception to the
newly installed radio and speakers. Truthfully, with less than
normal wear present for a near 60-year-old vehicle, we found the
overall condition to be quite outstanding! We did rebuild the
factory Rochester 4-barrel carburetor with new brass floats,
changed the engine oil & filter, rebuilt the air conditioning
system with an R134a conversion completed, replaced the entire
exhaust system, installed a new battery, replaced the rear trunk
trim kit for new, along with a few other small mechanical items. It
continues to operate wonderfully! With the perfect combination of
power accessories, modern radial tires, and creature comforts for
year-round enjoyment, it represents an outstanding opportunity for
the astute collector looking for originality with drivability! Act
quickly! None of the 1959 Impalas we have had over the years ever
last long! Even harder to find one like this! Call with questions
or to set up an appointment to review in person!
