Wow! What a sweet lookin ride!! Have fun with it!

thanks. i have a dumb question for you all how much is it worth.

Nice! I think the cars of this era will become more popular soon. I saw a '59 Olds at a show last weekend, and it was getting a lot of attention! It might be because we've all looked at the popular bodies sooooo much, that they start to look common and uninteresting.

thanks. and i agree im 32 and ive always loved the old big boats. the lines and the chrome just look sweet im redoing a 66 cadillac coupe deville for my wife and its lookin realy good but i needed somthing to just get in and enjoy cruzin in. so when i seen this i said screw it and bought it.

so i got it home today. and i didnt realize that its only got 43837 original miles on it. the guy gave me the title history on it and it was brought up here in 1999 with 40000 miles on it. it runs and drives great. the guy also gave me a 4 barrel intake for it and the original wheels and tires. the clutch isnt bad but i might need to adjust it a little but still shifts fine and just flotes down the road. ill get more picts up as soon as i get back in town. im taking it up to grand rapids for the weekend for easter with the families.

Cool Find,bet she floats down the road! ENJOY!

congrats on the vintage ride! Love the two tone black and red. Some of those old Montery's had very cool features like roll down rear windows and push button shifters built into the dash. I always thought those late fifties early sixties cars had a sinester look to them. Must feel cool to sit up front , one hand on the wheel, another across the bench seat to your wife cruising down the road listening to some tunes!

oh you know i will. it needs a paint job and i love to make everything i own custom like air ride or custom bodywork but this is so nice i dont think i can cut it up.

this does have the roll down rear windows but it a 3 on the tree manual. and ive got more looks in this today than i have cruzin in my chaneled show truck. and i love it.

eyepoppin, I was in South Bend Thursday, it would have sparked my interest. The car looks really straight. Good find I bought a 68 Chevy Impala SS right down the st. from Notore Dame this past November. AS far as the price do a search you may come close to finding out what it's worth.

I just put a plate on my 54 Mercury Thursday, getting ready to clean the white walls, we may cross paths this summer.



Now I'll take a look at your site.

Hey Richard, long time no speak! Post some shots of the ss and the 54!

Now I see why you have the name eyepoppin. You really do nice.
