Generally I'd always take the Chevy, but of these two particular cars I'll take the Fury because the Impala has a six-cylinder engine according to the hood badge and that isn't going to cut it!

Chevy. Best looking Impala of the period. 59 Plymouth is a rehash of the 57.

"Chevrolet" script as shown without a "V" or crossed flags indicated the engine was a six cylinder.

"Hood badge" may not have been the correct word, JK, but I didn't know how to describe it exactly. John Bono, though, got it right. The Chevrolet script alone denoted the six, the script with a "V" above it meant the car had a 283, and crossed flags in and above the "V" indicated a 348. Didn't see too many Impala convertibles without a V8!

Going with the Plymouth which looks very similar to the one I had back in the day.

Chevy design is miles ahead of the Plymouth in '59.

Plymouth, would be close but I do not like - no, hate! - the fender skirts on the Chevy!

I agree, Jack, which is why I'd normally go for it. But the idea of a gorgeous
Impala droptop with a six-banger is more than I can handle!
