New '59 owner in the bay area!

I’m excited as heck to be here, just picked up a '59 Belvedere 4door last weekend! Wanted something more… ah, substantial… than my 2 valiants. This big old beast has a 318 and a 2speed powerflite. Pics to come soon… I am still digging under my nails after the master cylinder rebuild this afternoon :slight_smile:

Welcome, Hunter!

Perchance did you just buy your car from Nick Nichols? I was just talking to him yesterday and he said he sold his '59 sedan recently.

Haha yeah, I did! Nice guy. LOVE his other vehicles! I’ve had it for a week. Got the master rebuilt yesterday (myself), and today it’s in for a brake line fab in the rear. Gonna have it cruising this weekend! Now I just need to track down some clean bucket seats and install my headliner…

Bring on the pictures!

Too busy driving the new toy, I guess!

Haha if only!! I should have it back tomorrow from the shop (in for brake work). Now it’s tome to find some parts…

A quickie… have an ad in the wanted section too. She’s on the road, guys!
