1959 Chevrolet Impala Convertible Fuel Injected Fuelie in Red & Ride My Car Story with Lou Costabile

On "My Car Story" we're in the West Suburbs of Chicago IL on 7-30-20.

We're looking at a 1959 Chevrolet Impala Convertible in Roman Red Paint. The car comes with the factory 283 CI Fuel Injected V8 engine.

The car's Owner is Ken Nagel. Ken’s had this car since 2015. He shares he really likes the looks and rarity of this car that looks “showroom” new.

ENJOY!

The '59 Impala is the wildest Impala ever and one of my favorite all time Impalas, and I love all of them from this era. The rear styling of the '59 is just off the charts. Congrats to owner on a rare, optioned out beauty, immortalized by our man Lou. Thanks guys.

Ordering a new car back then must have been quite the experience.shes a real beauty thanks for sharing.

These cars in this era were such a work of art and this beauty is spot on!!
I know it may be a cliche' "but they sure don't make them like they used to" and this 59 is a masterpiece.
GREAT VIDEO LOU.

That was so good Lou, I had to watch it twice!! Unreal

Lou, my dad bought a new '59 Chevy, a Parkwood wagon, beige with bronze interior. There was a strong rumor back then that '59 Chevies would lift up at the back end when they hit 80mph because of the large flat fins. Crazy. Ours was a station wagon so we didn't think much of it. But I still think that the 1959 Chevrolet is one of the most iconic designs of all time. Great job Lou and thanks to Ken for showing his car.

Power windows on a 59 Chevy, a time when power windows were still quite rare except for luxury brands.. Very impressive indeed👍😉

Goodday Lou,

I thought I was back in 1959 with that beautiful green country side, that is just so beautiful where ever you are.

Ken seems like a super nice guy & happy to share his collection for all the world to see. 1 of 26, does that put the Impala in the same league as Mopar E Bodies Hemi Convertibles, I think it does. That is just an amazingly beautiful Impala. Words fail me what you could go into your local dealer & order back then, what an era. We will never see anything like it again except you bring us these episodes to remind us. GREAT WORK AGAIN ☺.

The 1959 Impala convertible had the unique back double wing fin and back lens design. It looks like a Salvador Dali painting detail. This gives me a trip in time to the Impala glamour.(I was only three years old then). Thanks for the video and classic ride on this bright red and white fuel injection 1959 Impala convertible!

Best show yet, would be nice to hear more of each cars own personal history . This one lived somewhere in calf once i guess. Truly the cats meow with cats eyes too

[RustyCar]

What an outstanding example of mid-century design, colors, and options. As has been stated previously, so many different variations to build your own unique style of transportation. I look at these owner’s manuals and brochures you present (from any given car) and think that all these were produced from hand-drawn, hand-colored/painted artwork, and the attention to ALL the details put into these for the benefit of the customer. Thanks Lou & Ken for a great presentation!

Edit: I guess the 2 dislikes are from those who wrecked their ‘59 Impalas before their time.

ALL IN. LOVE THE 1959 .

MOM HAD THIS . CREAM EXT. ROOTBEER INT. BUBBLER HARD TOP LOVED THIS CAR .

[larrynapier]

Oh my ! She is one of my favorite cars I love the 59 with the jet planes on the trim ! I think this is very rare !

[TheGunfighteracp]

Outstanding. What a treat for the channel. That "whole different category" must be the "Ken Nagel Category", because this is another one that you may only ever see here. Thanks, Lou!

[alejandrogrillet]

GREETING, from Venezuela, A <GLAMOROUS CONVERTIBLE> . I like a lot the front & back of the automobile. With those winds you can fly. And Excellent restoration. Mr. Lou, Super Thank you for, a Cruise on the Country .

A friend of mine today has a '59 Impala Convertable with the continental kit. It's quite an eye catcher. My first car was a '59 BelAir sedan. My Pop bought it for me for my HS graduation ('68), inexpensively because it had a significant dent in the driver's door, and a bent front bumper. I replaced the bumper with one from a junkyard, and had Earl Scheib take care of the dent and paint the car. I was a happy young guy.

[davidkastin]

It doesn't get any rarer than this. Spectacular 59! Thank you Ken and Lou!

[kingforaday]

Nice!!! Back in 1975 a high school friend had a red '59 hard top. When I saw this I swear I got that odor of an old car interior smell and memories of drinking some Boones farm at the drive in with the girl friends!

[JeffKing]

Thanks Lou and Ken! Another great one Lou.

I never knew there was a fuel injected 1959 Chevy. Beautiful car.

[dalecain]

What an unbelievable car! Just in awe of the car and books you showed us Lou! I remember when the 59 Chevy came out everyone thought those wings would make the cars rear try to lift up when driving. 😂 Man you out did yourself on this video!
