We had a GORGEOUS 59 Chevy Kingswood wagon,a beautiful metallic sort of dark pink with a white top it was drop dead pretty,a gray interior 9 passenger.We were very proud of it people bragged how pretty it was Dad loved that😊 RIP Dad😇 I MISS YOU!.
We had one growing up in the early sixties. Dad, mom, and us four kids going shopping on the weekends. The rear power window had a circular knob under the dash close to the driver. No seat belts, just us kids cutting up in the back of the wagon. Sure miss those days. Ours was red and white. It was the 6 passenger Parkwood.
A wraparound windshield , dual headlights and 2 speed wipers were Big deals in the 50's ! Back when cars had style and you could differentiate one make from another !! Unlike today when all the Shit looks the same, especially Japanese Rice Cans!
A run of the mill commercial from 1959 features a story-line and acting that would put to shame most of today's motion-pictures featuring the crudest sort of humor and sex, or robots, vampires, and superheroes in tights.
In 1966 I learned to drive in a 1959 Chevy Bel Air. Took it to Nebraska and Indiana from West Virginia. Later on I got hit in the right side. It was still drivable but didn't look so good. Wish I had one now.
In 1959 my cousin's aging 47 Chevy was getting pretty raggedy. All she could afford was a 59 Biscayne 2-door sedan, completely stripped except for a heater. No arm rests. One sun visor. 6/stick. Her husband said to me it has a fuel pump and a carburator, what more do you need? About 12 years later she gave it to me, by now pretty tired, but still running well. I loved bombing around in it, but didn't keep it.Try to find a car like that now.
I noticed that immediately. What a beauty. A guy down the street from me in the early 60s had a powder blue 58 Impala convertible with power windows. It was fully optioned except AC. What a novelty that was at the time.
Not so fun if you got hit head on...no structural strength whatsoever no safety collapsable steering wheel so it impaled your chest.. No seat belts no crush zones..
The funny thing is they did research, especially around the time Tucker was doing his thing, and found Americans did NOT want to hear about safety - it was an actual topic that would turn off car buyers. Like the Titanic, it was thought that if it was big, it was safe. My how times have changed.
I loved the designs of the 1955 through 1962 chevrolets! Especially the 1959's! I Loved those 1959 tail lights!
One of the best car commercials ever
Yea!:)

All we had when I was growing up was Chevy's. My dad also worked for GM.
We rode one of these from Norfolk Va to Denver Colorado and back one summer.
And that was in 1959
Those fins!!
That certainly was an improvement over the 41. Imagine being able to buy car like that today from a dealer with a sidewalk showroom.
We got one of these when I was 11 years old. We would fight over who would sit looking out the back.

I'd oil the locks on their '46-8 coupe.
@inkey2 In those days folks didn't get into massive debt over a car, especially a chevy. and the government stayed the hell out of our lives also.
Yeah and thats why we all have Teflon in our bloodstreams. The good old days just weren’t all that good.
otimo raro carro!
Chevrolet - now with doors that stay closed.
Wimpy Dad is terrified of BitchMom.
Get in that new Chevy and RUSH Junior to an orthodontist!
why fun to buy ? it would be more fun if it was given to me as a gift ! that's fun ! Not having to pay for it !
It was fun to buy if you had the money and coud pay cash, probably what he did.
He should have gotten the'58 there behind him

remember folks....if your car door does not shut properly go into massive debt and buy a new car
I FELL out of an old 51 Hudson with a gallon glass milk jug in my lap,Sort of gives new meaning to that....Don't you think?!.
@@packingten wow......wow....would be worth falling just to have experienced sitting in a "Hudson". Hudsons were damn good cars.
I think the 41 was old enough to consider retiring it.
LOL, about to get ripped off by another salesperson - tee hee
I don't think you were ripped off with a car like that.
What, you wouldn't rather have an all electric 4,000 pound jellyblob?
What's that?

You must be that friend who is never invited to parties
And the dash board was solid metal! No padding!

There's no such thing as a unsafe car, it's an unsafe driver.
