Low mile '59 Biscayne on kijiji


Interesting, nice original car under a pile of dust.  Priced a little high for a 4-door, but it does look like it would clean up nicely (they do say looking for best offer).

Here's the line that gets me: "We try to spin the gears and wheels every 6 months. been doing that for 29 years. It was bought for the first son born into the family and he does not drive." 

  ...Saved the car for 29 years for the son who has no interest in it!  confuse  Yeesh!

 biggrin  Probably true on that one... I have a thing for those cars, so I probably think it's worth more than it is.  One thing about all the dust is that in my mind's eye it's mint underneath whereas the reality is probably somewhat less than that.  Another look at the pics indicates that there might be a crease on the right rear door, so who knows what else you might find.

On the other hand, I'm a sucker for a near-mint interior with original upholstery.  I guess I've seen too many Canadian Tire seat covers in my day... smile

 Sounds good to me.

Unrelated question... did you buy that '66 Laurentian that's in your avatar?  I've been dying to know what happened to it ever since I saw it on kijiji...

 Ray Ray Ray... my opinion of you has just sunk immensely... no

I mean how could you like the '73 Lemans but not the '59 Chevy?  They are both highly sculpted versions of GM's stylists' more "creative" times... confuse

On the other hand, I'll take all of these cars in this shape for $1500 that you want to sell me... wink

OK ok... I see it was actually Rat Boy responding.  You're off the hook!  biggrin

As much as it sucks, that is likely a realistic figure in today's market George. A perfect example of that is the gorgeous 66 4 door sedan that a site member recently purchased with even lower miles than this one.

 Ray there you go again, hating 50's cars. Come on now brother the 50's was the best era for styling. With out a doubt......... no doubt about it. Everything else pales in style after that. At least in the fifties you could tell one car from another. The era's after had it in power but style......... NOTHING WILL EVER MATCH THE MANY CAR'S OF THE 1950's. The 1959 Chevrolet in my opinion has always been a BEAUTIFUL car, especially as an Impala. Ray why the hatred for cars like this. If my garage was long enough i would have a 1959 Chevrolet in it. Long live the 1959 Chevy!!!!!!!!! Cheers. George.

 I guess our cars are now getting to be more worth as scrap than a  thing of automotive beauty. That is so sad to me. Where is all this going to end, especially with todays young people not giving a damn about all these wonderful cars. I suppose in the future most of our beloved oldies will end up as scrap. I just depressed myself so excuse me while i go out side and take my 1957 sweet heart out for a cruise. Cheers. George.

 Love 50's cars George, you must have missed my recent Classic Cadillac photographic essay. Just not into this BARFMOBILE. That roof line S U C K S with all those stupid posts holding the windows up. Give me 2 door Hardtop IMPALA or Vista roof then I'm happy. LOVE those.

 I'm with George with the style of the 59/60's "Those stupid posts" that's part of the Art of the car, you can't find any car sculpted like a mid to late 50's car. Don't get me wrong as I really do love all car styles, I like the muscle car era down to the old steamers and even have an appreciation for old motorcycles/bikes. There will never be a new car that has so much detail made from an American car manufacturer ever again. disbelief But we all have our own opinions and we are adult enough to know that we are not trying hurt each others feelings smile

Funny how we are all different. I really don't like the Vista Roof GM's from 1959. I much prefer the rounded roof of this sedan.

As for feelings, George and I know each other well enough that he know's when I'm yanking his chain.....besides, I fired two peole last week so I'm low on the feeling quotient.

To Todds point I really like Vista's but I could get used to this 6 window job if it was in my driveway.....
