My love for the 1959 Chevy Impala convertible started while on leave from the US Air Force in 1964.
I saw a beautiful black ’59 Impala convertible parked along the street in my hometown while visiting my folks and fell in love with it. The next time I returned home, I saw that same car for sale in a used car lot, and I just had to have it. The asking price for the car was $800. Since I only had half that amount, I borrowed the rest from my Dad. I drove that car for the next three years until circumstances forced me to sell it. Around 1980, I was in a position to start the search for another ’59 Chevy Impala convertible. I first tried to locate my old car for about one year but each time I came up short.
