EXTERIOR: All 59 Chevys are sharp, this one is even loaded up with extras: Spears and rockets on top of the fenders, dummy spotlights, deluxe mirrors, cruiser skirts, dual antenna and continental kit. It even has a set of nice chrome side pipes. Overall the body and paint shows really well. It is a very bright red with a very smooth glossy finish.

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.
