Location: Georgetown Texas | I couldn't resist, and drug home this '59 Imp. It was in the Houston area much of its life I think, so there is some rust. Floors and Trunk will need attention.
But its a real deal '59 Lebaron Hardtop. One of 622. I believe it has every single option, minus Mirrormatic.
Checking out the Vin tag was suprising, it was a really early car. Serial number reads 100563. The schedule appears to be 0803... August 3rd?
I know its a power Swivel Seat car, power windows, locks, steering and brakes, Front and rear A/C, stainless steel roof, autronic eye, signal seek radio, flight sweep decklid, Autopilot Cruise, and highway horns (4 of them!)
Hopefully I can get away with a light resto, some rust repairs and have another cool old Imperial!
-Ryan
