When i was a young car crazy kid in the early 60s, i recall a neighbor having a 59 Plymouth and it was gray, but i dont recall either seeing any others around…

Being born in 1962 as a car crazy kid and had never seen a 59 Plymouth until 2001 That was when I saw my car for the first time! From documentation I know there must have been some Savoy’s used as taxi in some cities but I had never seen one, that why I told my dad (when I was about 4 years old) I wanted a 59 Impala when I was old enough to drive. I wonder what you told your father?

Ron

I was born in 1955 and got my license to drive in 1971,i worked in a service station part time at that time and i remember telling my dad the same thing, i wanted a 59 Chev!
I did get one which i still have, in 2001!

Well Ron, if you are asking ME, here is my story: I was raised on the East Coast of the U.S. (NY State..born in 1956), where foreign cars have always been favorites of car lovers.
I followed the lead of my older brother who variously owned a 1959 Lincoln, a Porsche 356 and a Jaguar XK-150. (He bought the Jaguar for $90!)

Great story of the past, I am opening a new topic to show the cars I have owned since I had my drivers license. I’ll try to find pictures on the web of the right model and year. I’d like to see from all the others what they have been driving through the years.

When I was writing my story I remebered you own a 59 Chevy Thinking of buying any other 59’s?

The guys in my car club keep telling me that i should get a 59 Ford to complete my collection of the “1959 low priced field” but my 2 “old gals” as i call them are enough to look after!

And we go on with the postcards.

It is time for some “new” postcards.

Wow, cool! Where are all those cars now… And isn’t it neat to think, that perhaps one of the cars we are driving now appears somewhere in a postcard.

Not sure this is a potcard, but it is a 59 Plymouth picture I have never seen.

Has anyone seen this picture before?
