In 1959 Chevrolet offered new radical designs with the '59 Bel Air, Impala and Biscayne. The "batwing fins" and "cats-eye" taillights were just a few of the new designs. The new '59s rode a 119-inch wheelbase and stretched about 2 inches wider and longer, and 150 pounds heavier than the previous year '58. The Impala was offered as a full series for '59 and included a 4 door Sedan, Sport Hardtop Coupe and Sedan, and Convertible. The Impala ascended to the top of the line and the Bel Air became mid-range with the Biscayne behind. Production Numbers for the '59 Impala included around 473,000 car built.

| Jerry & Pearl's Classic Cream/Aspen Green Impala! |
| Pearl and I really enjoy cruising in this 59 Impala Sport Coupe. We have cruised all over Indiana and drove it to Charlotte NC in the summer of 2003. She's a great ride and sounds great with her power pack exhaust with glass packs. We're adding a continental kit now and will update pictures when ready. |
