In 1959, the Chevrolet Impala went from being the Bel Air Impala to its own model. As if swelling with pride, the car grew: It was longer, wider, and more ornate, with tailfins second in size only to those on Cadillacs.
The base engine remained the 235.5-cubic-inch inline six rated at 145 horsepower, with an optional fuel-injected 283-ci V8 rated at 290 horsepower becoming the motor that all envied. Other engines are listed below.

(5 reviews)This 59 Impala is one of kind and i love it big rims, airride and v8 is all you need * Performance – acceleration, braking, handling * Build Quality – cant be better * Appearance – no need * Cost of Ownership – $$$$$ * Fun Factor – sure it have
Styling -- 5 stars -- especially the Impala coupe. Performance was fine, not outstanding. I had 283 V8, not a 348, so that's what one would expect. If you want a car that will turn heads and continue to appreciate well, a 59 cnvt or coupe will fill the bill.
Slow and bad handling. The worst styling of the era which earned it the lowest selling price. Drum brakes all around that were good for one hard stop. A challenge when it was time for the yearly inspection. It was towed out of the driveway when the transmission failed.
This car is a really neat car to cruise in. the way it handles is good. with the new top and tires you could just tear up some roadways. I wished the original owner had not changed the three deuce manifold but that holley four barrel gives it plenty of gas when you romp on it. now its just a show car or actually going to have the frame off done. after that its to the barrett jackson auction..
This was my first car. It was a convertible white with red interior. it had a 327 engin with duel headers and cherry bomb mufflers. Lifted rear end and moonies around. My father and I did a basic rebuild when I was 16yrs old. The best part was replacing the top which neither of us had ever done so it was hard but fun doing it together.
