@@RetroRidesofBend As many know now, ford did not lead in using galvanization of metals but they did start in one plant starting in fifty seven. I can't remember why they were given credit for this process but somehow and way ford was considered a leader in this. So that said, nineteen fifty seven was a banner year for ford and they outsold all the others almost combined. Try to find any fords from fifty seven to sixty two, not too many are left in good condition much less great condition. I know cause I am that dang old. People kid me and say Jesus was my babysitter. In nineteen sixty two, I was almost fourteen and where we lived, it was close enough that even the few cops who came to visit family or friends sat in a bar and got drunk with the locals, us kids sat in the car/truck waiting for mom and dad to leave at quitting time. Times have changed but some traditions haven't as back then, vehicles had style, beautiful trim with real chrome or stainless steel. It did not make any difference, if it was a Studebaker or Chrysler product, be what it be, you could say exactly what car or truck by the looks of them.

I'm only at the 2:20 mark so I might be jumping the gun on calling this out but I hope you are aware of the California bumpers that '59 is sporting. Very desirable to say the least and in pretty good shape. The intake manifold on the trunk is off of a Toyota 2F 6 cylinder, probably out of that FJ-40 Land Cruiser I spotted in the background. Hook a brother up on that Land Cruiser 🤙🏽❤.

Supremes are the most underrated wheels, a set of 13x7 reverse Supremes with a 1.5” white wall is literally the coolest shit you could put on a 60’s / 70’s Chevy… this 59 is super cool sir, the wheels look amazing on it !!! My goal in life is to build a 64 impala convertible coupe with those same wheels exactly.. I’m going with a Harley Davidson color called “Shark Skin Blue” with a kaki colored top, S.S. buckets with the automatic in the center console, kaki vinyl SS seat stitch pattern with the shark skin blue offset for the inserts on the seats, steering wheel painted stripes with the blue and kaki offset, 283, 2spd power glide, hugger headers, 2” pipe, 12” glass packs w/ eraser chrome tips dumped under the rear bumper.. corvette IFS in the front, 4 link in the rear with a pan hard bar, she’ll be sitting about maybe 1.5 inches lower in the front and about 3” higher in the rear so she’ll have just a hair of rake so when you look at the profile the top when it’s up will be level with the street.. yes sir.. I love these cars !!! 💯💯💯

I absolutely love Supremes, i have ran them on several cars. In fact i knew the Supremes i put on the 59 would fit, because i took them off my old 59 Biscayne. They are just a huge pain with the multi fit style. They may defiantly may stay though! your 64 sounds killer too
