1959 Chevy Impala Convertible (blue)

A testimony to the wild style in 59! Cats' eyes tailights, huge scoops taken out of the rear quarter panel. Imaginative two tone color combinations...and check the color coordinated upholstery! Nothing epitomizes the cruiser better than a 59 Impala!

Cars back then were mobile works of art unlike most of todays boring cars.

@houseandthensome  So true...designers had seemingly unlimited freedom of artistic expression! Now they're constrained by miles per gallon! Thanks! :) Jack

that is a nice color Jack. and those wheel covers and wide whites look great together.

at the end of this you start talking about a light... were you saying the trunk had a light inside, but the hood did not? I do not know about the 50's cars but the late 60's chevy's had a light under the hood. small blocks on the left side and big blocks on the right side. they put the light so you could "see" the dip stick to check the oil.

@XboobtubeX Hey, Bob! I had to listen to that one again...I was referring to the color of the decklid which was the contrasting white..and the color of the hood, which was blue...I had though the white had carried over to the hood. White understood as light! I have those lights under the hood on my 88 and 72 Mustangs...I miss them on the current models! Thanks!  :) Jack

@zzzdogutube Hey, Ron! It surely does...the designers held nothing back on this one! It's almost what you might expect George Jetson to drive! Thanks! :) Jack
