  • Hey everyone and welcome back to Iowa Classic Cars! I have an exciting video for you all today, two 1959 impalas bought from one location! My friend found these cars while passing through a small town in Iowa, and after finding the owner on Facebook I was able to make a deal on them both! Can we make them run and drive after sitting for 25+ years? Watch until the end to find out! Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe for more classic car videos and will it runs!

    Gotta love how cars would literally rot the body off and still run and drive with no sweat!!! They sure don't make them like they used to!!!!

    Even though she’s a rust bucket, she’s still a 2-door hardtop Impala and really sharp! Hopefully someone will restore that beauty.

    I love the 59 impala!!! One of the most beautiful cars ever produced!!! Wish I could afford one! I like the white one because of how mechanically sound it is. But it definitely needs a lot of body work!!!

    Awesome that you saved another 2 59 Chevrolet impalas! I hope you or someone keeps it running and makes it road worthy! I would get the brakes working and clean it up inside and out. It would make a fun project car to keep from being scrapped. Good luck with future endeavors. Take care.

    I figured you had a 59 hardtop. A shame that the Vin tag is no longer on the car. I would be careful on what you do with that car. Just because it no longer has a Vin tag doesn't mean it's a parts car. One thing I've learned in my days, is there's always another way for everything! Don't jump the gun and destroy that car!
