  1. It was fun to buy if you had the money and coud pay cash, probably what he did.

  2. 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.

  3. I don't think you were ripped off with a car like that.

  4. 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.

  5. That certainly was an improvement over the 41. Imagine being able to buy car like that today from a dealer with a sidewalk showroom.

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

  7. What's that?

  8. I think the 41 was old enough to consider retiring it.
