V8 engine Powerglide Automatic Transmission T3 Vintage Headlamps Original Trim Identification plate Factory Medium Silver Frost Metallic Interior Wow! Gorgeous 1959 Chevrolet Biscayne with the iconic "Gull Wings and Cat's Eyes". By the late 50's every aspect of life had taken on Jet Age Panache. Most cars of the late 50's, of course, had fins,. None, however, had anything approaching the horizontal, deeply sculpted wings of the '59 Chevy. The brochure called it "the most curvaceous sheet metal to ever grace a Chevrolet." This Biscayne wears four T3 headlamps. The body panels align perfectly. All of the chrome and stainless trim displaying brilliantly. The tail lamp lenses are excellent. Names like Impala, BelAir are instantly recognizable. You might not realize you want a Biscayne. This time warp survivor was represented as 30,000 actual miles by the 2nd owner who acquired it out of the estate of the original owner in Amarillo, Texas. The title reads "mileage exempt" due to age, use your own judgement. Judging by the condition of this car, we believe it. Finished in 2-tone Satin Beige over Cameo Coral.
