1959 Chevrolet Impala Description

Up for auction is my 59 Impala Roadster---There is a lot to list so I encourage if you have questions to call me or email and I will respond as promptly as possible. Selling to finish my other project.
Please note: This was made to be a radical one of a kind car. It has no top. It has no windows, but the look and the attention it gets is second to none! Who would want to drive one of these with the top up anyhow? This started its life as a bubbletop 59 Impala, but I wanted to be different, so here it is!
Body:Blasted and painted with Dupont Cameo Coral and light flake--looks almost a tint of pink in the sunlight, and a darker red out of the sun----between the trim on the side and on the dash and interior are a combination of the cameo and silver light flake.Under side and trunk were lizard skinned.New trunk pans and floor pans. All dynamat on floors. New gas tank. There is teak wood that is polyureathaned that fits perfectly where the windows would have been to give a nice clean look. California one piece front bumper. all trim and brightwork are excellent for the age of the car. Custom one piece front valance that wraps around. Dual antennas on rear fins.

Full airride suspension via air ride system--compressor with gauge mounted in trunkswitches are mounted with the stock power window switches on driver side.Went with one inch lines instead of 1/2, so it goes up and down quick. People love it!

The trunk and hood operate on seperate switches mounted under the dash that go up with accuators. both fit perfectly. Nothing cooler than pulling up and using the switches and mouths drop to the floor!
