Congrats, that sounds like a good place, and a great price, especially for SoCal's cost of living. If you haven't before, when you get it back you might want to check any 'under-dash' vacuum accessories for leaks. The heater controls and the automatic parking brake release (if a '59 has one?) can cause a pretty big drain on the vacuum system if they're leaking. The brake release would also only affect the car when it's in gear, which fits some of your symptoms. -Kle.
