This incredible 1959 Chevy Impala is a beautiful example of a low mileage, all original beauty. Unfortunately, it was hit in an accident, and has now been brought to us for repairs. Days were spent trying to find original, rust-free (keyword!) parts that would be a suitable fix for this car. It has now been brought into the body shop to be disassembled.
