Hi Andy,
My dad had this exact car when he bought it new. Gorgeous vehicle!

[@fob1xxl]

PRETTY CAR. ALL OF GM'S 1959 CARS WERE REALLY QUITE BEAUTIFUL. MY FAVORITE IS THE 1959 BONNEVILLE. FROM THE DIVIDED GRILLE to the beautiful double tail fin rear, it was georgeous. It was one of GM'S best years for design

[@jamesfox2579]

I would proudly own AND drive this Car over ANY Car built today!💕

[@josephackeret7911]

Awesome car!

[@craigroach8297]

My dad’s car ! They cost a little over $3000 as memory serves . I used to drive this car every day!

[@kevinsnyder8448]

Nice

[@peterburi2727]

394 is the displacement. I had one in my youth.

[@robertchristie9434]

What's great to see is the correct hubcaps on the Olds. In my old hood on the southwest side of Detroit, gangs were known to steal caps. The guy across the street had the house & backyard full of caps & eventually went to prison for 3 years for Grand Theft Auto.

Beautiful.

[@raymondsmith7993]

Nice car I love late 50's Oldsmobiles. But I wonder why after rebuilding the engine they did not paint it the original color Oldsmobile 394cid Rocket engines were Green not Blue. But that I can over look as long as it has a 1959 Olds Rocket engine in it and not another small block Chevy swap.

[@keithlaursen3140]

Would like more information on this car please

[@zxtenn]

Cool, we had a 59 Dynamic 88 wagon with the 371 back in the day. Transmission should be L S D so a 3 speed. Whats the price for reference?

[@raymontalbano8045]

I have a ‘56 and “D” is actually 3rd and 4th. It is truly a four-speed Hydramatic.
