1959 marked Chevrolet’s full-size car offensive. The Impala, now a standalone after leaving the Bel Air series, powered Chevrolet past Ford to claim the sales crown.
Over a million Impalas found homes, setting the stage for future dominance. Engine choices catered to all, from the base 135-horsepower six-cylinder to the range-topping 348 with 315 horsepower.
Chevrolet didn’t stop there, offering 14 exterior colors, 10 two-tone options, and 12 interior colors to personalize the Impala experience.
This 1959 Impala on eBay (egonzalez915) could be your dream project. Though details on its storage time are scarce, the solid frame and desirable year make it a prime restoration candidate.
The engine needs work, but the seller assures it’s fixable. Bonus: it has the original V8 and factory AC (a rare option in 1959).
With a starting bid of $9,200 and “Make Offer” available, this Impala in El Paso, Texas is likely to disappear fast. Arrange transport, as it won’t be driving itself home.
