This has been my personal car for the past 3 years, i enjoy driving more than showing. I have put about 25k miles on this car in the past 3 years, a lot of daily driving and some long trips too. I would not hesitate jumping in this car and heading cross country. The car has has extensive work done to it, but never a full restoration. While i consider the car to be in great driver condition, it still grabs the crowds and the trophies at any show i would attend, so much that it had become a joke because the car would win trophy's at shows without even being registered! The good, the mechanical upgrades have made the car reliable to drive with superior handling to a stock '59. The chevrolet 350 engine has been previously rebuilt with mild performance upgrades including double hump heads. It always fires right up even after sitting and in the cold. The upgraded dual master power disc brakes give the car great stopping power and without a wandering front end of drum brakes. Air is never a problem, it has 2 compressors and a large volume holding tank. The radial tires also improve the cars ride. Seat belts were added to the rear for my children and a bluetooth stereo was added as well. The stereo is a classic radio that fits in the factory hole with cadillac style knobs, has an amp and 4 speakers that give a concert sound. Heat works, upgraded wiper motor, fuel, speedometer all works. Horn is a loud air powered 2 note horn. Cosmetically, there is a lot new! Most of the chrome has been redone at a cost of thousands! Has all new upholstery. The dash was sent out and redone the right way by just dash at a cost of $3000. At the time, the gauges were rebuilt and the gauge cluster was rechromed as well. It's a pleasure sitting behind the wheel. The repaint is an older driver quality repaint with mostly new weather stripping that has been buffed to a nice finish. The roof sets off the black with a green monster flake finish. The green hand painted pinstripe is a work of art. New custom made hubcaps look awesome. Trunk is finished in a custom fit black carpet and is clean and tidy. The engine bay is nice for a car that's driven often. Batwing air cleaner with pin striping. Undercarriage is driver quality. Car came from arizona but like most 59's has had rust and does have patches. The 1959 cadillac is the only car from the 1950's that is appreciating in popularity and value, they are most desirable and valuable as a custom. Bluetooth
