Chin and I picked up a 1959 Chevrolet 4 door sedan in the Bel Air trim package from a local estate sale. Let's see if we can get the 235 inline six running and test out the 3 speed on the tree for the first time on the road since 1976!

Many years ago when I was young our Saturdays were spent in old scrapyards salvaging bits and pieces to keep our old cars running - though our cars weren't as big as this Chevvy. It was VW Beetles, Morris 1000's,, Vauxhalls (GM), British Leyland Minis, tatty old Jags & Daimlers (my car !!), Rovers and Fords for us !!! Happy days. Modern British cars are crap.

That reminds me. Back in 1985ish I found old, what I figured was brass Zippo under the backseat of an old Chrysler that my dad gave me. I replaced the wick and wadding and carried it for several months. Until I gave someone a light with it and they asked me "damn son why are you carrying around and using this lighter?" Turned out that it was 14k gold!! I'm 53 now and I still have that Zippo. I've been down and out a few times over the years and came close to selling it. Couldn't bring myself to let it go. And it's worth a shiny penny that's for sure. So yes!!! Always search through ANY old car you come across. There could easily be treasure.

Classic lines on this one. I was born in '59 and I remember the body style well. I don't remember when the fins were retired. When I was in high school my good friend's first car was a '64 Bel Air w/ 3 on the tree. Fins were gone by this time. This thing was long and it literally floated. We thought it had a body that was rusting and paint that was duller than my big toe. Heh, heh...it was really much sought after vintage patina I now know. It smoked like The Friars Club after dinner. We went to Pensacola in the summer in it and we sweated like pigs touring the Hormel plant. Good Bel Air memories cause it made cold beer taste all the better.

My cousin had one just like that. Well is was a white 1959 Chevrolet, but it was a big block 4 speed convertible. White with white top and red guts. It always had fresh paint; as he wrecked it often. He thought the girls would like him, if he had a cool car. He was wrong.

I don’t care what anybody says. The 59 chevy’s were some of the most beautiful cars GM ever made. I had a 59 Brookwood 2 door station wagon I drove back in the early 70s. Sold it almost 50 years ago and I have regretted selling it ever since. Great old lead sled.
