  • Hey everyone and welcome back to Iowa Classic Cars! I have an exciting video for you all today, two 1959 impalas bought from one location! My friend found these cars while passing through a small town in Iowa, and after finding the owner on Facebook I was able to make a deal on them both! Can we make them run and drive after sitting for 25+ years? Watch until the end to find out! Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe for more classic car videos and will it runs!

    Gotta love how cars would literally rot the body off and still run and drive with no sweat!!! They sure don't make them like they used to!!!!

    I figured you had a 59 hardtop. A shame that the Vin tag is no longer on the car. I would be careful on what you do with that car. Just because it no longer has a Vin tag doesn't mean it's a parts car. One thing I've learned in my days, is there's always another way for everything! Don't jump the gun and destroy that car!
