Good looking 59 Chevy verb! I had a 57 2 door hard top in high school, but I don't have any pictures of it except when I got into a wreck with it. I'm still upset with myself that I never took a good picture of it.
The quintessential classic car! My brother tells me Dad had a 56 before he got the 59, but I was too young to remember.
BTW you can always get another! They actually have brand new bodies stamped from new tools nowadays for the 5-6-7 model years!

"Electronic music is human sound adapting to indulge technology, and for some, it feels like the signature sound of energy. New and abstract sounds over hypnotic rhythms can conjure vast soundscapes for escape, pleasure, and transcendence."

I don't have the room for another car as I have a 2 car garage. Yes, I've seen those stamped bodies which are very nice and would make a great platform for a new build. My days of working on cars except for minor repairs are over as I have a bad back. I found the pic of my 57, but it's hurting after a 65 Mustang pulled out in front of me. It's color was Maroon with a black rolled and pleated interior.

I've always thought the goal of high-end audio was not to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Turn that darn music down' but to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Tell your friends to go home and you can practice later this week'.
Ouch is right! Man that is terrible! Looks to have been in pretty good shape otherwise.
Yea, we had to get new fenders and hood, I was lucky it wasn't worst. It had a 327, 4 speed, 4:11 rear and chrome reverse wheels. The Mustang wasn't as lucky.

I seen that happen once...... Once they are not afraid of you is when the REAL FUN begins. I've seen one hoof stomp the snot out of someone..... Good Luck.
