One of the BEST Auctions I've EVER SEEN! Impala Convertibles, RARE 1959 Cadillacs! (Auction Recap)

This estate auction took place last week in Reedsburg, Wisconsin. A man's collection of 1958 Impalas, 1959 Cadillacs, and other misc. cars and parts was sold online. This is one of the best auctions I have seen in recent memory, and there were many desirable and valuable cars in one place for all to see. The rarest by far was the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Seville, which was 1 of 975 total produced, followed by three 1958 Impala convertible projects in one spot, which is a rarity by itself!
I hope you all enjoyed seeing these rare survivor cars, let me know which one was your favorite!

Hey Ryan, indeed, these have to be some of the most wild vehicles you have shown! Rare Cadillacs, etc. I remember when you could not even give away a 1958 Chevrolet back in the 1970's, there was a bit of interest thanks to the '58 in American Graffiti but not nearly like what we see now. What a collection! If only..... Sigh. The news about the engine going into the 64 is nice to hear, I see things are coming together for you. I love seeing Felix! Such a picture loving cat in his sharp tuxedo, hope to see more of him, I am sure he is keeping mice on the run! Looking forward to seeing upcoming adventures!

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks for watching!

[@jamesthompson8008]

I'd have to agree on the rarity by content factor there - someone definitely had foresight there,huh? Liked the 59 Eldorado Seville, never knew about those before this vid. Sad thing on the 4th 58 with no Vin, white w/gold interior, she was a beauty when new.

[@royhaught9516]

Iove the 58 Impalas! They have super strong styling, back in the day you could see one coming or going from a mile away and know that it was a 58 Impala!

[@IowaClassicCars]

For sure!

[@melmcclure3710]

I loved both the 59 Cadillacs but I really loved the 58 red with black rag top. It looked very restorable

[@IowaClassicCars]

it was!

[@milwscruffy]

In reality, it needed at least partial floors, if not the whole floor pan and still sold for 43K. Nothing like digging yourself in a hole before you even start. The car world is getting stranger by the day !

[@philipdurling1964]

The pink Impala is a real beauty. Growing up as a kid in the UK these were my dream cars.

[@FrankieNY59]

Hey Ryan, awesome video. Love the auction. Of course my favorites were the 59 El Camino and 66 impala SS that Seville was pretty sweet though.

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks man!

[@user-zx8de8op9l]

I was at my grandfathers pole shed over the weekend for a family auction. I wish he had cars like this inside. His old cars were in the woods back in the day, nothing like this. He had rare cars new, they are long gone. Mostly 2 door station wagons, including a 1957 Nomad yellow with a white top.

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! Good to see you Ryan ! I am a big fan of 1957 and 1958 GM models , I have Oldsmobile Super 88 two door no post , The Cadillac 1959 & 1960 have a soft spot in my ❤ ! Most people do not care for these vehicles there lost, very cool cars !👍☕️👍☕️👍☕️ Cadillac 🍸🍸🍸🍸

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks for watching!

[@debbiebermudez5890]

@@IowaClassicCars Mr. B. ! Love ❤️ the vehicles you save. The technology of today has taken over that young people are not getting in the hobby. So thank you for what you do ! 👍👍👍🍸🍸🍸

[@brianernst3169]

In my opinion the 58 Impala was the most beautiful car ever

[@randymente80]

Back in the 70's you could pick up a nice 59 Chevy for $2,000 running or less.. But to us street racer's they were boats. Glad to see you young guys showing interest in these old cars and putting them back together.

[@shaunwright7442]

Sweet 58s old school muscle cars love em

[@IowaClassicCars]

Oh for sure

[@hottroddchevelle]

59 Eldorado was so cool. I've never seen one before

[@buddyshroom]

Welcome to my childhood! Thank you so much for making this video!

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks for watching

[@robertgastreich9846]

I agree with you on the cadillac Sevile was the best car. I also liked the 58 Chevy's. That one year body style was fantatic. Acutions are fine but the up the bid so much, that no can afford it Can't wait for a junk yard sale or walk, or one of your project cars.

[@IowaClassicCars]

i know, i would have loved to own that seville!

[@jesse-ig6tm]

Love the 58.😢

[@williamdeegan7840]

59 Seville. Great video. Again.

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks man

[@johnroof2663]

My favorite was the fifty nine el dorado seville. When I was a little boy my mom and dad had a 59 sedan deville. It was a color of purple and was a big ass car lol.

[@IowaClassicCars]

awesome story!

[@robertnovotny4588]

Nice collection

[@waynetaylor8082]

Those steering wheels are COOL 😎😎😎! SOO miss such wheels, simplicity perfected. AWESOME VIDEO, THANKS 👍

[@bryanyoung3764]

The 66 Impala SS sweet Thanks for the video 🙂

[@finfan83]

Plenty of Chevies for Ryan's enjoyment here ! And a real Eldorado Seville, not mislabeled Sixty-Two coupe ! OMG ! With air suspension And A/c!!!!!! 11:04 - proper reaction for this roof trim, one of the best designed trims of all the 50's. 16:26 -hi lifts ! Good to see you standing and serving !

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks man

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

58 Chevy convertible. I'd love to get my hand on one with a 4 speed transmission. Have a great day buddy😊😊

[@IowaClassicCars]

4 speed was only a dealer option, 59 was the first year of factory option

[@GMCTIM]

My dad & I were working on a 58 impala wagon when he suddenly passed in 2014, I bet it made a nice car ! 😥💔

[@odizpatina]

Cool cars

[@joefromWY]

Eldorado hands down, but loved the collection.

[@darkrose4704]

Those 59 Caddies are selling for a lot more than that out west! You wouldn’t believe it!!!

[@IowaClassicCars]

i do believe it lol

[@MortskeRepair]

Can't wait to see what you bought!!

[@IowaClassicCars]

[@Frankensteinfabrications]

another awsome video ryan

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks man

[@peterhodges6684]

IMHO, the best looking Impala that Chevy ever built !

[@ronbunker5778]

Garage is looking good! There were a lot of really nice vehicles at the auction.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks!

[@francoisbouchard602]

😄👍👍Nice car😍👏👏

[@davidsantos8206]

Lots of cool cars, but I think my favorite would have to be the 58 Fury. Probably because Christine is 1 of my favorite movies and 1 of my favorite cars. I bet that went for quite a bit of money. My 2nd favorite would probably be the 59 Elcamino. Thanks for the video

[@66skate]

That's the one I'd have bought. A rare and desirable car worth some good money when restored.

[@michaelmason6210]

Less than 50 golden commando fury's are known to exist.

[@IowaClassicCars]

the fury brought around 15k i believe is what the hammer price was

[@motorfreaknew]

Hi Ryan! wonderful cars! '58 Impalas, '58 Plymouth Fury, '59 El Camino ❤on top!

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks for watching!

[@milwscruffy]

I was there the day before (Wednesday) the bidding ended. My friend owned the chopped flamed Merc in 1961-62. It was a 20 coat black lacquer, Cadillac powered show car back then and he supplied the auction people with a chain of ownership since he had sold it for the new owner, who turned out to be local. For reference, the Cadillac convert went for 47.5K and the (3) 58 convertibles went for 43K, 36.75K and 34.25K with the red one being the highest. Nothing like burying yourself in a project before you even start. Even the parts went for stupid money for the most part, at least it was a nice day for a drive.

[@IowaClassicCars]

I agree, everything went really high

[@milwscruffy]

@@IowaClassicCars Glad we were not alone in that thinking. I've been at this 47 years and my friend 65 years. We just shook our heads and asked each other what did they see that we didn't ?

[@beatglauser9444]

Being there I would feel like a starved person in a candy shop! You would like to bite into everything at the same time. I have been watching only for a few minutes: But WOW: What a great collection iof cars. And I did not evern see the Chevies yet: Few cars in this world are as gorgeus as 58 and 59 Chevies.

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Did you call the 59 El Camino a "clone"? I'm still learning...lol Thanks Ryan!

[@IowaClassicCars]

Yeah lol its a clone of my buddy marshalls

[@olikat8]

Have to agree with you on your assessment on prices for certain vintage cars. Waaaay too high. I just bought a '69 Dart Swinger 340, complete and off the road since '81-'82. Flew into DFW on my way home from AZ, drove a couple hours south, and found it to be pretty much as described. Price wise? Not free, not 1991 priced, but for a solid, never smashed/twisted, and having very rare parts all there...can't complain

[@paulgrimm]

That door still closes solid on that 59 Caddy

[@IowaClassicCars]

Very solid cars

[@dennisbrown2571]

Fav: 59 el camino.

[@khb3892]

My favorite is the 66 Impala SS, lots of cool cars. Of course the El Camino is very nice.

[@IowaClassicCars]

that SS was a super nice car

[@IowahippieHopey]

Wish i would have found your channel befor i bought my monte

[@IowaClassicCars]

Better late than never!

[@richardatkinson500]

Really liked the grey restored coupe you showed toward the end, though it looked like the grill may have been missing; I'd guess that was a $30K car too

[@IowaClassicCars]

i cant remember what it sold for

[@RodrigoPalma700]

Ok, thanks.

[@johnm.5848]

The orange 58 Chevy at 1:59 looks to be in the best shape of the bunch Ryan. It's just me but If it was mine, I'd turn that one into a clone of the 58 Chevy in the classic film "American Graffiti"

[@IowaClassicCars]

it was, it was very fixable

[@bryanbiggs6298]

Hey Ryan great video my favorite would be the white 58 impala with the 348. I have a question did get any of the you wanted out of that salvage yard in north Dakota?

[@IowaClassicCars]

Not yet

[@someguyover736]

That was a lot of '58 chevy there, way better than the '55-'57 IMHO .. . three drop tops??? That good man was a bit of an over achiever, I like his style.... For some odd reason I find myself drawn to the 6-cyl car over the v8's. Something about the challenge of making that 6 into a mill that would make a v8 say "what the???" .. For some reason , that sort appeals to me.. Would be a hit at car shows with its twin turbo's or perhaps a super charger... definitely different... which to my way of thinking, is a very good thing. Why be normal??? My overall absolute favorite? My good buddy Ryan here was nice enough to put it up on the lift to keep it safe until i can there next week. That '59 two door Brookwood.. Ryan dude, very generous of you to offer to gift me that car... you are the best, friend ... You do remember that conversation right? The fact that you're reading about it right here on the internet means it must be true, right? (man I sure hope this works)😊😊😊 See ya next week Buddy😊 (hope this works) You take care now... (fingers crossed)

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks for watching!

[@terrencegiordan2775]

Awesome video nice 58s how much were your 4 post lifts and where did you get them. That's what I need next for my garage thanks for the info on the insulation that's finished. Looking forward to your next video. My buddy gary is there now for six months he lives down the street from me when he is here in vero beach fl he watches your videos to I told him about you.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks man, i got the tuxedo xlt 8k lifts, i wana say they were 4k each

[@82Ismael]

I want that 66 impala

[@richarddavis3007]

Like the Fury

[@IowaClassicCars]

Me too and im not even a mopar guy

[@georl1]

My favorite was the 59 Chevy El Camino.

[@hdvette64]

My favorite at the auction was the salmon colored 58 impala convertible.

[@IowaClassicCars]

i agree it was a nice one

[@hdvette64]

Just curious, what motor did it have if any and do you know what they got for it? GM sure built some beautiful cars back then

[@josearriola3087]

That Impala and a Cadillac convertible will sell pretty quickly

[@karltork6040]

My choices, '59 Seville then the Mark Lincoln then Felix he's one handsome cat.

[@IowaClassicCars]

haha hes photogenic for sure

[@milwscruffy]

One of the few "deals" there was the 1934 Ford Tudor, which went for 8K and was a legit old hot rod.

[@IowaClassicCars]

That is a pretty good deal

[@danswartwood4580]

That on 59 Caddy had a decent interior

[@IowaClassicCars]

yes they all did!

[@larrysmith4918]

New viewer. Excellent content. You're only a little annoying so maybe I stay a while lol. That was a ridiculous collection of metal. I actually filmed with George in American Graffiti and have fond memories of a beautiful locally owned and driven 58 Impala hardtop during that magical summer...

[@IowaClassicCars]

Haha, well thanks 🤣

[@myrons4713]

Yeah, way too much Narration!

[@IowaClassicCars]

@@myrons4713 if i didnt have any, people would complain, if i have too much, people complain, if i have the right amount, people still complain lol

Nah too much action, = prices way too high lol

[@bonessixtyone]

I think Boris picked up a couple of those 58's.

[@IowaClassicCars]

He did

[@buddyshroom]

If any one of you bought these? I would love to see what you did with them.

[@williamdeegan7840]

Isn't there more than one place on the 58 that has the VIN. Can't you get one ?

[@IowaClassicCars]

yes on the frame but if vin tag & cowl are gone, it means they are on another car. it could be a nightmare to clean that up

[@timothyfritsch8801]

ho w i missed this until now so that was awesom butt never overpay in that chevy era as we all know theres parts ou there everywhere for those models,,,anyway i do have some info on an untapped market that you should see in rural europe all american stuff pretty wild funny as in this world nobody has any idea how to fix them let alone restore them so they just sit

[@burt66669999]

New khackis !!!!

[@burt66669999]

Wanna see a vid of you actually tossing away khackis !!!

Hahaha maybe ill need to film that

Hey, Toad! Is that you in that beautiful car? Jeez, what a waste of machinery. -American Graffiti

The 59 wagon

[@IowaClassicCars]

haha thanks man

[@bobfortner919]

That missing vin means nothing here you just verify by the frame number or blue tag it.. all those cars are buildable i dont like them or would but they are. ..dont be scared ..😮..

it can be a mess to fix that some times though

[@IowaClassicCars]

Clone of my buddies same color & everything

[@mexicanspec]

@@IowaClassicCars OH OK

[@mbesette2789]

Just because a car doesn't have a VIN doesn't make it a parts car..

[@IowaClassicCars]

For me it does, lot of people wont buy a car with no vin. Its a felony to vin swp, but i know that doesnt deter some people

[@williamdeegan7840]

59 Elcamino clone ?

it looks like my buddies elco lol

[@plymouth491]

The only car worth looking at here starts at 10:25.

[@IowaClassicCars]

I disagree

[@edwardberwind8544]

Ryan I have said this before but many of the cars you show are pure rust buckets. Ido not want to take away from what you are doing, but to restore these cars properly it would take the better part of $100,000.00 in todays money. The 58 Chevy cars are pure junk, they are rusted to death They need quarters, rockers, floors, fenders, hoods, glass, wheels, tires, engines, trans, and some rears. of the six shown maybe you could make one solid car. and then you would need stainless trim and emblems let alone paint. Look I can comment as I have been there. I completely restored a 67 Camaro that was in pretty bad shape. I bought the car for $8000.00 and replaced every nut and bolt on it. Being able to do all the deconstruction and construction work myself. I did everything except the paint I spent over $30,000.000 in parts fenders, doors, hood, bumpers, glass, seats, carpet, console, shifter, trans, engine, driveshaft, clutch, radio, heater core, radiator, hoses, belts, hardware, fittings, Trim, brakes, bearings, seals, gaskets, exhaust. I have been there. I have done that.

[@dcformee123]

I think it's time to get some glasses young man or go back to school cuz that chassis is not a tri-power flathead take a closer look my friend it only has two carburetors that's t w o carburetors.....
