Richard's restoration is just perfect. Everything about it. I also love it for what it DOESN'T have on it, which would be the awful continental kit and fender skirts. Interestingly, the '59 has more ornamentation (be it on the fenders) than the '58 preceding it, or the '60, '61 that followed. Not being an automatic though, I'd have to learn how to drive it. For a car like this I'd learn, of course.
Cat eye taillights,bat wings, spinner hub caps, GM stylists at their best, flamboyant and it expresses the unfettered optimism of the era! Interior detailing out of this world, never to be repeated. Great car view Lou! Fantastic exhaust!

A mate and I were walking to town one night, it was 1959 or 1960, when we saw one of these cars parked outside a house, this was in Crewe England. Hell we thought the martions had landed. Beautiful car.
LOU ..U. R. GREAT THANKS. 4. BRINGING US. ALL. SUCH PLEASURE WITH THE CARS U SHOW . AWESOME 1959 CHEVY . WE HAD A '59 IMPALA. 2DR. CREAM WITH ROOT BEER INTERIOR ..GREAT RIDE .BACK IN THE 60S.

This 59 is gorgeous. You would have had to been around back then to fully appreciate what we are looking at here. This was a car with massive street cred in it's time. A red convertible, the top of the line 348 engine with 3 dueces and 4 on the floor, just wow! It was the coolest ride back in the day. No offense, I loved the video, but you failed to give this car the respect it deserves.

I had a '59 Chevy Bel Air 4dr Sedan that my parents passed down to me for College 1966-70. It had a 283 V8 with power glide auto trans. Not enough power for a teenager. So I re-built my '59 Chevy hotrod by swapping the 283 out for a 327 V8 Bored .060 over, and a 4 speed transmission. My Chevy surprised many late 60s factory Hotrods in those days. I spent a lot of weekends working on my Chevy.

What a beautiful car and so nice it hasn’t had its looks spoiled by hokey spotlights, fender shirts and a Continental Kit! It is just a perfect example in every way!
One of the best cars Chevrolet made. The beautiful red color and chrome design makes it very popular and well known. The interior is very comfortable if taking it for a long road trip vacation, John.
Lou, found another one your videos, this is one FINE 59 IMPALA, that Red really looks good, these cars have STYLE, like you were saying on the door panels, one thing I've always loved is the speaker in the back seat of the IMPALA'S, I liked it when you said Give It A REV while it was running, I can tell you love these CARS too, Lou you find the best, THANKS for sharing, its really appreciated.
As a kid in the 50's-60's, it was a fun thing to cut out pictures of the new car models from family magazines of the day and show friends our collections...
What a beautiful automobile and what a creative era for designs. I remember as a kid watching TV teaser adds where the new years model was draped in a sheet with maybe a slight glimpse of the rear taillight to keep you guessing until it was unveiled, usually in September. Every year the autos had a fresh design and it was exciting. Yes Lou those were the days. Now everything is bland and generic usually in grey, silver, black, and the stale designs remain for years. Cars were art back then now they are utility.
I've got a grin ear to ear...my dad had one too: a 1959 Impala convertible white exterior and sky blue interior with silver piping. Oh what a head turner and girl magnet. This is stuff of dreams hahahahaha thanks.

I could listen to that exhaust sound for hours! What an amazing car. Beautiful restoration job. I remember when this car came out I really didn't like the batfins.
The 280 horsepower was a great option. It was the base 250hp 348 with 3 x2s. Hydraulic lifters 9.5 to1 compression. Good performance tremendous cool factor.

Nice video! And where are the trains hiding? I love the background sound of an upcoming train. I bet there are many of them: unique and antique as this beautiful car.
1959 was the pinnacle of styling for GM...across all makes. These cars were just too cool. This Impala has no power steering or power brakes, but does have an owner that probably grits his teeth when he's jamming through all the gears and blowing by everyone on the highway.
Appearance wise, this is an exact duplicate to our neighbor's '59 which I rode in many times. It was a 283 with powerglide. They had it from 1962 to 1968 when they sold it for $250 and replaced it with a '64 Imperial Crown 2 door hardtop. At the time, we lived on a dead end street with 3 houses. In a twist of fate, my parents had a '59 Impala Sport Sedan and out other neighbors had a '59 Parkwood wagon. I love the '59 convertible but they are priced way out of anything I can afford.

Lou, maybe it's just me, but it seemed like you were ordering this poor guy around. Why not just let him tell the story of the car and show it his way? You're not directing a ballet, after all. It's so obvious that you're trying to pretend you know a lot about the car, when it's obvious you don't. Let the old guy inform us instead of having him respond to stupid questions. That's my suggestion.
Hi StvMcQueen1, You're right I need to let the Owner talk more and inform me / us, and also that I don't know about the cars and learning about each one as the Owner shares his story. I'm soaking up knowledge every video I'm doing. Since I see on your Channel you're into music, you'll understand that there is a component that I do need to lead because the person because many times like in this interview, he's not sure where we are going, so I can understand if you see me "ordering the poor guy around" because I'm directing. Some one has to "direct" so you know where the music is going. Not sure about the "stupid questions" I ask, I think that's subjective. I'll work on getting the Owner to talk more. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Thanks for not taking my comment as a slam. I enjoyed seeing this car a lot. My old Aunt Ruthie (rest her soul) had a new '59 Biscayne that she was so proud of. That car took me and my little cousins on many a fun-filled outing. Hope the rest of your Holdays are great, Lou!

it was 1960;s and cars were junky , had a new 1963 impala convert 4 speed 409 red with black interior it was pretty but could NOT keep a clutch in the car , after the 4th clutch in 5 weeks dealer canceled warrantee, to show how different cars were then I bought a used 64 Plymouth 4 speed 383 clutch lasted life of car had it 11 years .NO trouble just a water pump that went at 49,600 miles and dealer replace free..GM was iffy then PS love you videos brings back so many memories
Kenneth Connors my dad has a 1964 impala ss manual powerglide but reverse, first and second gear don't work... only third and fourth once we fix it... we'll go to some shows too
+Lou Costabile what about any cars people don't know you have? Lol, but I have a 68 California special although not for long since I'm selling it to get a Mach 1.

I know that this rare classic has been sold, do you have any 1969 or 1960 impala or Belair available? ? Iam from Western Canada.
Hi M C, This is the cars I'm familiar with that are for sale. Lou ruclips.net/p/PLkoIzmOYXcci6LqtOTkLdvd6KH4aE2Ku1
Nice
Hi estpst, Glad you enjoyed this classic :-) Lou
Lou, maybe it's just me, but it seemed like you were ordering this poor guy around. Why not just let him tell the story of the car and show it his way? You're not directing a ballet, after all. It's so obvious that you're trying to pretend you know a lot about the car, when it's obvious you don't. Let the old guy inform us instead of having him respond to stupid questions. That's my suggestion.
Hi StvMcQueen1, You're right I need to let the Owner talk more and inform me / us, and also that I don't know about the cars and learning about each one as the Owner shares his story. I'm soaking up knowledge every video I'm doing. Since I see on your Channel you're into music, you'll understand that there is a component that I do need to lead because the person because many times like in this interview, he's not sure where we are going, so I can understand if you see me "ordering the poor guy around" because I'm directing. Some one has to "direct" so you know where the music is going. Not sure about the "stupid questions" I ask, I think that's subjective. I'll work on getting the Owner to talk more. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Thanks for not taking my comment as a slam. I enjoyed seeing this car a lot. My old Aunt Ruthie (rest her soul) had a new '59 Biscayne that she was so proud of. That car took me and my little cousins on many a fun-filled outing. Hope the rest of your Holdays are great, Lou!
When you share videos about a topic people are passionate about like cars, it helps to be ready for comments to be good, bad, and ugly :-) I hope your holidays are great too.
StvMcQueen1 He was trying to hurry it up because people started to walk over and wanted to talk to the owner
Wow

I had one of these in 1962 white Impala convert 283 2 barrel powerglide with red interior
it was NOT a good car ....but nice video Lou
Hi Kenneth Connors, Thank you for the compliment on the video, and sorry to read about your experience with the one you had, Lou
it was 1960;s and cars were junky , had a new 1963 impala convert 4 speed 409 red with black interior it was pretty but could NOT keep a clutch in the car , after the 4th clutch in 5 weeks dealer canceled warrantee, to show how different cars were then I bought a used 64 Plymouth 4 speed 383 clutch lasted life of car had it 11 years .NO trouble just a water pump that went at 49,600 miles and dealer replace free..GM was iffy then
PS love you videos brings back so many memories
Kenneth Connors my dad has a 1964 impala ss manual powerglide but reverse, first and second gear don't work... only third and fourth once we fix it... we'll go to some shows too
