Dinah Shore was 43 in 1959, and very hot!!! When I bought my first car in 1972, many guys wanted a 1955, 1956, and especially a 1957 Chevy. Back then nobody wanted a 1959 Chevy, and you could find one in good shape very cheaply.
That is true! Around 1973-74 a friend of mine across the street got his first car - a 1959 Impala 2-door hardtop - for about $350. He painted it black, souped up the engine and tore it up and down the street...it looked wicked, but before "American Graffiti," "Happy Days," "The Wanderers" and "Porkys," nobody gave him the cool points he deserved. He wound up getting some boring, non-descript contemporary car soon after but his '59 Impala was the best!
In 1972 I recall seeing a '59 2dr Impala for sale in mint condition red on red. For $800 I was only 13 even then I liked '59 Chevy's & I wanted one. I got my drivers license in 1976 & when I was 17 my mom bought me my first car a red on red '59 2dr Impala for $1600. I loved the car & so did my best friend & his brother we had a thing for '59 Chevy's. You're right back then everyone wanted the tri-five Chevy's they were the hot ones. They still are they've always been popular but the '59 &'60 Chevy's were the least desirable & so they were very cheap. In 1977 I got into a wreck with the '59 I failed to yield. It wasn't worth fixing at the time & in 1978 my dad bought me a '57 Bel Air 4 dr hardtop nice car for $1000 I kept it for awhile & sold it for $1,700. Even then '57 Chevy's were a good investment & a car you could make money on.
I know what you mean. Back then we thought that we had worries, but compared to now? Absolutely no comparison. If I had a time machine I would gladly go back.
Great commercial. 59s were so beautiful. I notice every one featured here, including the top of the line Impala convertible, all have small hub caps. It looks as if most of them have the 348 engine judging by the crossed flags on the hood.
That's what was rolling out of Detroit when I was 3 years old. Unbelievable. My father had a '59 Impala. A White on red 2dr. hardtop with fenderskirts in really nice shape in '68. She was sweet.
I just found her cookbook in a used bookstore in Asheville NC. It was a signed copy and there was a Christmas card stuck inside to the same people that got the book. She says she can't wait to see them in June.
I'm so glad I have through the Mid 50's 60's 70. We had so much Music, Entertainment, Movies (Best) Actors and gorgeous cars and on and on. Take me back, Please....
No close up of a tail light, no dark wet streets no quick cut's ,no key fobs ,all the commercials today are shot the same these old ones actually shows the car's that's the point not how many weird camera angles when you can't tell what a car really looks like .remember, see the USA in you're Chevrolet song, these commercials shot to day don't seem to mention what it is .
Back when America had a thriving middle class & you really got your moneys worth. That '59 Impala convertible & all the other models are fantastic. I had 3 '59 Impala's all sold off. I want one more before I die.
Did you really get your money's worth when these cars were designed to last maybe 100,000 miles? This is why my parents staring in the early 1960's started driving Mercedes Benz. I was always embarrassed by these cars since as a child, thought the cars to be old fashioned. We did have a Cadillac or two during this time period.
@@3506Dodge Lots of famous Black groups and individuals throughout history. Explain your ignorant comment please? Or are you just another hater of everything?
The chrome and stainless steel trim on these cars looks like it was all given a special hand buffing and reinstalled on the cars for use in this ad. I don't remember stainless trim shining quite like that on anything, even when brand new. Sharp cars! The convertible has a 348 in it too. Note the flags on the hood above the V.
Back when most cars had lots of chrome and stainless steel, when I bought mine and picked it up from the dealer, it shone just like this one. But I found it a lot of work, too much work, to keep it that way. Until you pointed it out though, I didn't really notice the car in the background. I was too busy looking at lovely Dinah, who has such a nice voice.
Same here, never seen this one....and I, too, have a '59 Impala. Gotta love those corny commercials. How curious that none of the cars have the full wheel covers. Even the "glamour models", that gorgeous Gothic Gold Impala convertible, Cameo Coral Nomad wagon and Aspen Green/Highland Green Impala Sports Sedan with basic hubcaps...strange choice.
Wow! Look at those understated, sparkling chrome accents! It's like a car wearing jewelry! 💍 My favorite is the sedan! But in this day and age, with cars lacking in style and elegance, I'd take any of these beauties! ❤ Thanks for making our day bright right after the 4th of July 2024! 🎉🗽🇺🇲🗽🎉
I thrill to hear Dinah under ANY conditions, even in these commercials. Her voice here is the clear bell it always was! There's another singer? Oh, I DIDN'T NOTICE!
Because of "progress" man always thinks he can better everything. I grew up in the 1960's when '59 Chevrolets were everywhere it was exciting just to see the cars in everyone's driveways & on the road.
True, the '59 & "60 Chevy's didn't become desirable til 25 years later by that time most of them bit the dust. In1972 I saw a '59 2 dr Impala for sale in mint condition for $800 & the '57 Chevy's were going for $3,000 & more. Because everyone wanted the tri-five Chevy's & the "61 to '64 Chevy's. my first car was a "59 2dr Impala in 1977 in mint condition for $1600 I wrecked it. My 2nd '59 2 dr Impala in mint condition in 1979 was $1375 & I passed on another '59 2 dr Impala in 1980 in mint condition for $1,200 I wanted it but I already had 2 before & it gets old buying the same car. i assumed the '59 Chevy's will always be cheap cars so I took the '59 Chevy's for granted. I've had many other old cars in the meantime I bought one more '59 2 dr Impala in mint condition in 1998 by this time the price was $11,500 i financed it. I used to go to classic car auctions in the 1970's & in 1978 a mint condition "58 Impala w/ 348 sold for $1,400 & in 1979 the same '58 Impala w/ 348 sold for $6,000, I think the movie "American Graffiti" in 1973 had a lot to do with it. Making the '58 Impala's desirable cash cows. But the '59 & '60 Impala's didn't become cash cows til about 1985 by that time they were very scarce. And lots of them for bought up by many foreign car buffs like Sweden, England & Japan & shipped back to their countries. I lived in England & worked in Sweden & I met a car buff who had a large collection of '60 Chevy Impala's he only liked the '60 Chevy's & no other year. Unlike the '55, '56 & '57 Chevy's popular & desirable since day one.
@@johnjr1570 I recall seeing a '59 Impala convertible sell on ebay in 2015 for 200k & I had a chance to buy a 59 conv. for $1200 in 1980 I passed & walked away. no regrets it was driveable with a new top but it was missing all the side chrome & front grille & the 3 speed on the tree was a big turn off.

Love Pat Boone holding Dinah's hand. She's old enough to be his mother. Did they say new engine? Nope - still the same 6-cyl and optional V8's from previous years.
@Keit Kammleter - Pat Boone and Dinah Shore are entertainers. Holding hands / body touching was in the script to create a sense of warmth, as opposed to the cold, big finned 59 Chevrolet ... that the general public ... Did Not Like !!
@@fredbadgett7962 : That's the optional W-series big block V8 new in the previous year. The standard engine and other engines available had been available for some time. I've since watched other Dinah Shore Chevy commercials on RUclips. She always sings "new in xx (year)", or "all new" regardless of whether there is anything new or not. Just like GM (and the others) just make minor, mostly cosmetic changes each time, it seems they didn't much change their advert scripts either. It doesn't matter - Dinah was real pretty with a beautiful voice, and folk kept buying lots of Chevys anyway. My father had a Chevy. He kept it for 10 years. It was a very good car - much more reliable, durable and comfortable than the English car my mother insisted on.
@@warriormanmaxx8991 No, not ever. And no response from any elves, gnomes, hobbits or leprechauns, either. In fact I have had no response from any imaginary entities my whole life... which is why I feel I can call on any or all of them with absolute impunity. You?

My father had one of these, the Impala. But not in 1959. It was around 1970 and ready for the junk yard. These were beautiful cars, but they dated fast.
@Denis B - our RUclips readers have been waiting with bated breath on your reveal of owning a 1967 Impala, with a 283 engine. Nothing to do with the video.
it is on film and the film color has faded, or at least some of the colors have faded as they don't fade at the same rate. It still isn't too bad and with the right corrections it could be improved quite a bit. Some film loses so much color that about the only one left is often magenta.

@@marciadiehl5733 Yup, Bill Clinton balanced the budget unlike Reagan, Bush, Bush 2, or Trump. Seems if you want to spend money like a teenage girl with a credit card, being a Republican is the way to go.
@@LearnAboutFlow WRONG!!! Bill Clinton didn't balance ANY budget. The Republican led Congresses of 1995, 1996, 1997, & 1998 balanced the budget. That is the Congresses job..NOT the Executive branch's (the Presidency) job. The Congress is in charge of the nation's wallet. Clinton only signed those Balanced Budgets because he lost control of the House and knew that if he didn't sign those Balanced Budgets, he would lose even more seat in Congress than what he lost in 1994. I was in my late 30's and was watching and well aware of what was happening in our country politically. I doubt you were even out of diapers by then. And the only party that can never control their spending are the "spend and then tax" Democrats. They have been doing this since before I was born in 1956.
@@marciadiehl5733Ah, Republicans and their rewrite of history. Always amusing. Tell me, if your party is soooooo fiscally conservative why do they spend money like water on ridiculous court cases. SIXTY idiotic court cases about election fraud. MILLIONS spent on idiotic CRT witch hunts, something that doesn't even exist in ANY public school. And let's not forget Trump's $150 MILLION one-hour bombing of an abandoned airfield ONLY so his Raytheon stock would go up. And Trump's 'amazing' deal with Foxconn in which, thanks to the idiotic contract he 'negotiated', the taxpayer in Wisconsin is paying hundreds of workers $55, 000/year in salary, yet NONE of the workers were ever hired but Foxconn keeps the money. Republicans are like a teenage school girl with daddy's platinum card.
@@marciadiehl5733 Oh, and I forgot the icing on the cake. Your fiscally perfect boy Kavanaugh and his buddy Ken Starr spending $10 MILLION pursuing a sex act which had ZERO to do with the running of the government in any way, shape or form.
That was not a Chevy color in '59 if that's what your asking. I don't know of pink being on the color pallette of any of the '59's but I'm sure one of the automakers still offered it. My buddy has a Persian pink '58 Chrysler Windsor with matching interior. It attracts a crowd when ever it's at a show.

Don't crash then. For those of you under 50 there was a time we had to look out for ourselves and the goverment didn't hold our hand.

Love Pat Boone holding Dinah's hand. She's old enough to be his mother.
Did they say new engine? Nope - still the same 6-cyl and optional V8's from previous years.
She 40 yo and he 25 yo....
Ideat Karen speaks again folks...
@Keit Kammleter - Pat Boone and Dinah Shore are entertainers. Holding hands / body touching was in the script to create a sense of warmth, as opposed to the cold, big finned 59 Chevrolet ... that the general public ... Did Not Like !!
The new engine was the 348....
@@fredbadgett7962 : That's the optional W-series big block V8 new in the previous year. The standard engine and other engines available had been available for some time.
I've since watched other Dinah Shore Chevy commercials on RUclips. She always sings "new in xx (year)", or "all new" regardless of whether there is anything new or not. Just like GM (and the others) just make minor, mostly cosmetic changes each time, it seems they didn't much change their advert scripts either.
It doesn't matter - Dinah was real pretty with a beautiful voice, and folk kept buying lots of Chevys anyway. My father had a Chevy. He kept it for 10 years. It was a very good car - much more reliable, durable and comfortable than the English car my mother insisted on.
God! That mohair suit was ghastly!
@effyleven - re: "God!" Do you often write to God via RUclips Comments? Ever get a response from God about the mohair suit?!?
@@warriormanmaxx8991 No, not ever. And no response from any elves, gnomes, hobbits or leprechauns, either. In fact I have had no response from any imaginary entities my whole life... which is why I feel I can call on any or all of them with absolute impunity.
You?
This appears to be a kinescope copied from either the original live broadcast or the videotape for replay outside the Dinah Shore show as a regular Chevy commercial during other network broadcasts.
Not a kinescope. From 35mm film.
@Steve Kosareff - appears you are "wrong!" Are you a party-pooper much in daily life, as well??
Great video but "commercial" is spelled wrong ("commerical") in the title.
Thanks for catching that

Interesting that these cars do not have full wheel covers but rather standard hubcaps.

Funny crime rates were skyrocketing and are at their lowest levels today. Oh well, who needs facts when you have racism.
@@LearnAboutFlow Are you deranged? Detroit was so safe before Jamal and Latitia took over that women like my mother could walk home from the movies ALONE late at night without a thought of being accosted - and then walk into their unlocked apartments with windows open and find everything just as they left it. Today the city is so dangerous there are 64 violent crime parolees in each square mile and the zone is considered one of the most dangerous in the world. You are full of it radicalized, CNN-worshipping little troll.
The Beatles? are you sure about that?
This is from 1958, right?
There was a recession that year, and for a brief moment, AMC became the 3rd biggest Car Maker.
Well the fall of '58 as new cars always came out in Oct..
I just see batmobiles.
My father had one of these, the Impala. But not in 1959. It was around 1970 and ready for the junk yard. These were beautiful cars, but they dated fast.
Whatever Karen...
@Denis B - our RUclips readers have been waiting with bated breath on your reveal of owning a 1967 Impala, with a 283 engine. Nothing to do with the video.
2 color process?
it is on film and the film color has faded, or at least some of the colors have faded as they don't fade at the same rate. It still isn't too bad and with the right corrections it could be improved quite a bit. Some film loses so much color that about the only one left is often magenta.
I'll give you the dude for payment and take everything else by the way honey wanna test out these impalas springs hehehehe no but in all seriousness we need these cars to come back

The last year America had a balanced budget
Not true. The last times the Congress passed a Balanced Budget was in 1995-1998.
@@marciadiehl5733 Yup, Bill Clinton balanced the budget unlike Reagan, Bush, Bush 2, or Trump. Seems if you want to spend money like a teenage girl with a credit card, being a Republican is the way to go.
@@LearnAboutFlow WRONG!!! Bill Clinton didn't balance ANY budget.
The Republican led Congresses of 1995, 1996, 1997, & 1998 balanced the budget.
That is the Congresses job..NOT the Executive branch's (the Presidency) job.
The Congress is in charge of the nation's wallet. Clinton only signed those Balanced Budgets because he lost control of the House and knew that if he didn't sign those Balanced Budgets, he would lose even more seat in Congress than what he lost in 1994.
I was in my late 30's and was watching and well aware of what was happening in our country politically. I doubt you were even out of diapers by then.
And the only party that can never control their spending are the "spend and then tax" Democrats. They have been doing this since before I was born in 1956.
@@marciadiehl5733Ah, Republicans and their rewrite of history. Always amusing. Tell me, if your party is soooooo fiscally conservative why do they spend money like water on ridiculous court cases. SIXTY idiotic court cases about election fraud. MILLIONS spent on idiotic CRT witch hunts, something that doesn't even exist in ANY public school. And let's not forget Trump's $150 MILLION one-hour bombing of an abandoned airfield ONLY so his Raytheon stock would go up. And Trump's 'amazing' deal with Foxconn in which, thanks to the idiotic contract he 'negotiated', the taxpayer in Wisconsin is paying hundreds of workers $55, 000/year in salary, yet NONE of the workers were ever hired but Foxconn keeps the money.
Republicans are like a teenage school girl with daddy's platinum card.
@@marciadiehl5733 Oh, and I forgot the icing on the cake. Your fiscally perfect boy Kavanaugh and his buddy Ken Starr spending $10 MILLION pursuing a sex act which had ZERO to do with the running of the government in any way, shape or form.
I was 15 in 1959. It made us cringe to hear Pat Boone's covers of rock'n'roll songs by Little Richard and Fats Domino.
That was a sad time to be sure. Heaven forbid white kids buy " race music".
Pink???...
That was not a Chevy color in '59 if that's what your asking. I don't know of pink being on the color pallette of any of the '59's but I'm sure one of the automakers still offered it. My buddy has a Persian pink '58 Chrysler Windsor with matching interior. It attracts a crowd when ever it's at a show.

A real eye opener. More like a real spilt your head opener in a crash
Don't crash then. For those of you under 50 there was a time we had to look out for ourselves and the goverment didn't hold our hand. Also many people that died in car accidents were because there was no EMT Paramedic program. Just scoop and go and hope to get to the hospital, which didn't have the life saving technology that it has today, in time.
