Not a big fan of the '59 Chevy but this one is VERY nice.

Al, you took the exact words out of my mouth!!

Very odd looking car, especially the rear clip but as a model I like it! I own the DM turquoise 59 and love it as a model . Awesome detailing and color.

My first ever real car in 1967, was a 1959 Chevy Impala hardtop, white with red interior.

To my eyes Phil, the 59 rear clip is far better looking than the 60 version.
