Hey, where is the picture of a V8 with TURBOGLIDE, LOL?

 

...here's a pic from the 70's of my 59 BelAir taken in the parking lot where I worked,...all that white stuff is hail, not snow.
...the 59 was my daily driver, a 6-stick car. Wouldn't mind havin it back today.

 

Great thread!

 

Awesome pics! This has always been my favorite year model, hope to maybe have one eventualy.

 

Heres my old 59 wagon, and a 60 I had and sold before it was finished.
And 2 59's belonging to my buddy, Fred, who is Wingman on here.
He has a FLEET of 59's....haha

 

I had a sweet straight `60 sedan delivery `89-91 that I'm sorry I got rid of. I bought it from a cholo. Lowered, in primer w/ a 235, 3-on-the-tree & a genuine meican blanketed bench seat! I sold the 13"s and put a set of aluminum slots on it, wish I still had it. At least I still have the 427 & M22 that were going in it. I have pictures somewhere, I'll scan & post them soon.

 

Workin' on it...

 

I miss my '59

 

Here is mine in DFW. Its for sale also....

 

Awesome thread! I love all those old pics. 59-60 are awesome cars.

 

Here's a few shots of my buddy Dallas's old nomad.

No idea where she is now.

 

Mine was a retired Super Stocker I bought in 1962. It had the Bel Air body which was lighter than the Impala with a factory four speed, hi-perf solid lifter, larger valve, three deuce 348. It had been sponsored by a local Chevy dealer in North Carolina and driven by one of their salesmen who had a reputation for being fearless behind a wheel. I added the tube grill after I bought it.

 

I like the picture of the guy on the assembly line painting without a respirator...times have changed! I will post a picture of my old 59 bel-air. Just bought a 59 wagon. Nice post! Thanks

Here's one I picked up yesterday at an antique shop.Maybe if I water it enough,it will grow big!

 

Great rare pix! Fab32, how ya doing?

 

Pictures are kind of sketchy...from 15 years ago when I graduated high school. Car would have looked way better with wide whites and steelies.

 

haha that explains my rattle



heres my 59 impala currently installing a 348 with a 4speed







and here was my first car 60 impala

 

Here's my 1960 Sedan Delivery circa 1972.Bought it in 1968 for $150.Was an old American Tobacco Co.truck with about a gazillion miles on it.Had deadbolts on both doors and the tailgate.Originally a 6 cyl.standard shift,it got a 283 with a full synchro 3 speed in 1971.Drove it for several years until I got in a head on collision that destroyed it and nearly me as well.Bought another one for $50 to replace it but never finished it.It was my first of many wagons and sedan deliveries.

 

Man, this is a great thread. My grandparents bought my parents a '59 Impala just like this one as a wedding present. Roman Red with a custom ordered red interior (at least that's what my dad always told me). The new car was a bribe to make sure they waited until college graduation to get married. I came around 2 years later and all my early childhood car memories are based on this car. I remember a car seat with a steering wheel. Then we moved from California to NY in '68. The Impala went to a neighbor kid for $200 and mom's new ride was a used green Rambler wagon. Bummer.
