Lowest mile 59 Impala in existence- 3 original miles!

1959 Chevrolet Impala Description

Only 2 actual miles! This car is part of one of the most intriguing car collecting stories of all time. 25,000 people gathered in a town of 1,700 to witness and participate in the selling off of the Lambrecht Chevrolet collection which this car was a part of. Ray Lambrecht and 1 mechanic ran a Chevy dealer from 1946-1996. He amassed a 500 car collection of trade-ins and some "new" cars that were never sold like this 59 Impala. Unfortunately the cars were not cared for properly. This car was in a building that had it's roof collapse. All the cars in the building were dragged outside and left for decades. The first and only owner bought this car at the 2013 sale. He very carefully restored it to new condition while preserving it's originality best as possible.

This car has such a great story. Whether it's in your private collection or at a car shop it is certainly a conversation piece. How many cars are in the world from the 1950s with under 100 miles? Probably none! There is an enclosed trailer available if you want to show it and not add miles.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
