This 1959 Chevrolet Impala is a wonderful blend of originality and
tasteful upgrades, offering the unmistakable style of one of
Chevy's most iconic model years with drivability that makes it easy
to enjoy. Under the hood sits a correct 348 V8, denoted by its
T218H suffix code showing a Tonawanda, New York build date of
February 18th. Topped with the desirable Tri-Power setup and GM
Rochester 2-barrel carburetors, the engine looks and sounds the
part of a true late-fifties performance machine. For ease of
driving, the car has been upgraded to a Turbo 350 automatic
transmission, delivering smooth shifts and more versatility on the
road compared to the original equipment. Power steering and front
disc brakes were also added, making this Impala far more
comfortable and confidence-inspiring behind the wheel than many of
its contemporaries.
According to the VIN, this is a true eight-cylinder Impala built at
the Flint, Michigan plant, and the trim tag confirms its
factory-correct presentation. Finished in its original Snowcrest
White, paint code 936-A, the car shows well overall with a strong
driver-quality appearance and only a few minor imperfections noted
in photos. The chrome bumpers retain a presentable shine and have
the honest patina expected of a car enjoyed on the road. Inside,
the red cloth and vinyl interior (trim code 873) remains in
excellent condition, with proper patterns and a clean presentation
throughout. A working AM radio is still in place, complete with the
dual speaker option, maintaining a period-correct cabin feel. Even
details like the Harrison radiator and fully functioning gauges
point to the careful upkeep this car has received.
The Impala rides on wide whitewall tires that give it the authentic
late-fifties stance and complete its classic profile. This car has
been cared for over the years with documentation to back it
up-accompanying the sale is a large folder of restoration receipts
spanning its history. While it's not a concours-level showpiece,
the exterior, interior, and mechanicals present in a condition
where the car can be thoroughly enjoyed as-is, without hesitation.
The '59 Impala remains one of the most sought-after American cars
of its era, known for its flamboyant styling, sweeping fins, and
unique details, and this example captures all of that charm with
just the right touch of usability.
If you're searching for a driver-quality classic that retains its
originality while benefiting from smart upgrades, this Impala is a
perfect choice. It has the looks to turn heads anywhere it goes,
paired with mechanical reliability and comfort that make it an easy
classic to take out often. This is a great opportunity to own an
iconic Chevrolet with documented history, factory-correct styling,
and all the right features to make it both collectible and fun.
