1959 Chevrolet Parkwood
A more conservative approach, with "jet smooth" lines, evident with the aircraft inspired side trim. Chevrolet changed much of the bodylines from the more wilder '59's. The Bel Air was again offered as the mid line just under the Impala and the Biscayne remained the lower level more affordable option. 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 Bel Air became the midrange series for '59. Production series total included about 447,000 produced. Of these, 188,623 were station wagons. The Parkwood and Kingswood Station wagons had the same trim as the Bel Air but their own model script. Plus, the Kinsgwood offered a power lift tailgate.1959 Chevrolet Parkwood Production Numbers
