OVERSEAS BUYERS WELCOME ~ WE HAVE SHIPPED MANY CLASSICS OVERSEAS.

HELLO,

YOUR LOOKING AT A BEAUTIFUL STYLED ORIGINAL BARN FIND STRAIGHT 1959 CHEVROLET KINGSWOOD STATION WAGON. SELLING THIS 59 FOR A FRIEND, THE OWNER WANTS TO SELL NOW AS I CAN NOT RESTORE THIS 59 AS I HAVE THREE 59'S IN FRONT OF IT AND HE CANT WAIT. AS THE STORY GOES, THIS CAR WAS RESCUED FROM A FARM BACK IN KANSAS IN 2004. THE CAR LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN RETIRED IN THE LATE 60's WITH OIL TAGS SHOWING SOME MILEAGE HISTORY. ( SHOWING 87,181 NOW ~ TITLE SHOWS 87,000! ) SO IT HAS SAT FOR A GOOD 40 YEARS BEFORE THE CLEAN UP. IT IS A TIME CAPSULE AS IT SITS. THE CAR HAS THEN SAT IN STORAGE FOR YEARS WAITING FOR A TOTAL RESTORATION TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD EVER SINCE. THIS CAR IS A OVERALL VERY STRAIGHT, ORIGINAL, A MAINLY UNRESTORED CAR, SCREAMING FOR TOTAL RESTORATION, OR JUST TO LEAVE IT AS A ORIGINAL WITH THE PATINA PAINT ORIGINAL CLASSIC.

THIS IS A ORIGINAL UNALTERED, OR NOT A PIECED TOGETHER FROM 5 CARS TYPE '59 KINGSWOOD, WHICH ARE GETTING VERY - VERY HARD TO FIND IN THIS TYPE OF OVERALL UNALTERED ORIGINAL CONDITION.  KEPT INSIDE AT A SECURE HEATED FACILITY WITH OTHER CLASSIC CARS IN A COLLECTION. THE OLD OWNER STARTED A RESTORATION IN 2004 WITH SOME DISASSEMBLY OF THE INTERIOR AND MAIN DASH COMPONETS, A TOTAL RESTORATION WAS PLANNED AND THEN STOPPED, DUE TO OWNERS CHANGE OF MIND IN BUYING ANOTHER CLASSIC CAR. ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS WERE THEN CLEANED AND PUT BACK IN PLACE, SO THE RESTORATION WILL BE A EASY ONE, IF THAT IS YOUR GOAL, OR YOU GET A VERY CLEAN GENERALLY UNRESTORED CAR WITH MOST ALL THE PATINIA STILL SHOWING, WHICH IS VERY COOL!  THE JAMS AND ALL SEAMS ARE CLEAN AND NICE ORIGINAL PAINT COLORS INSIDE AND OUT. THE MAIN BODY PAINT HAD A REPAINT WAY BACK IN THE EARLY SIXTIES AND THE PATINA HAS TAKEN PLACE SINCE THEN. SOME FADE MIST TOUCH UP TO THE BARE SPOTS HAS NOW BEEN DONE FRO PROTECTION OF BARE METAL, BUT THE OVERALL CAR IS CLEAN AND NEVER BEEN TRULY RESTORED, ONLY CLEANED AND DETAILED.

THE ONLY SPOTS THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED IN THE PAST ARE THE LOWER REAR QUARTERS AND A FEW DINGS HERE AND THERE, WHICH HAD SOME SCRATCH DING DAMAGE AND RESPOTED IN WITH SOME PIN HOLES AND SOME FEATHER BONDO AREAS WITH OLD PAINT SPOTED OVER. INSPECTION SHOWS NO BAD ACCIDENT DAMAGE OR REPLACEMENT METAL WORK, JUST FEATHER BONDO REPAIR FOR SOME DINGS AND SOME POUND OUTS WITH SOME DENTS. 

OVERALL THE CAR IS A VERY SOLID '59 ESPECIALLY IN THE MOST ALL CRITICAL 59 SPOTS.  THE ONLY REAL "RUST OUTS" NOW ARE IN THE "LOWER ONLY" FLAT FLOOR PANS, ON ALL 4 MAIN PANS, ONLY AT THE LOWEST POINTS- AS SHOWN IN PICTURES. (PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS!) THE FLOOR SPOTS ARE A VERY EASY FIX FOR A RESTORATION SHOP, AS NO BODY SUPPORTS OR FRAME SUPPORTS ARE NEEDED, JUST LOWER PRE-STAMPED PANS DROPPED IN THERE. WE LEFT THIS AS IS TO SHOW THE ORIGINAL CONDITION TO THE NEW OWNER. THE UPPER, INNER, OUTER, ROCKERS AND FLOOR SEAMS, ARE ALL SOLID AND BEAUTIFUL CLEAN & RUST FREE. THERE IS A LITTLE RUST IN THE UPPER REAR ROOF DRAIN DRIP RAIL, INNER BEHIND MOLDING, AND HAS BEEN NOTED. THE TOP OF THE CAR HAD NO PAINT AT ALL LEFT, ALL SUN BAKED, SO A WHITE SEALER PROTECTION FOR THE BARE METAL WAS APPLIED USING POR-40 WHITE OMNI SEALER (SAME AS THE ORIGINAL COLOR), GOOD STUFF WITH A SATIN FINISH SEALER.

FRONT FENDERS ARE GREAT AND HEADLIGHT LIGHT LOWERS ARE SOLID. HEADLIGHTS WERE DISSASSEMBLED AND NEW REBUILD KIT INSTALLED FOR PROPER GLASS LENSES AIMING. 3 ORIGINAL HEADLIGHT T-3's ARE STILL THERE! REAR TAIL LIGHTS ARE GUIDE 59 ORIGINALS ALSO.  

PLEASE NOTE: WHAT DO YOU WANT?

THE CAR CAME WITH A 283 V8 & A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THAT IS NOT RUNNING AND OUT OF THE CAR CURRENTLY. THE WORD WAS IT WAS RUNNING WHEN PARKED, 1969?, IT DOES NOT TURN OVER NOW - STUCK FROM SITTING. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS A LATE AUTOMATIC REBUILT IN MID 80'S, MILES? AS PAPERWORK IN GLOVE BOX SHOWS?. THIS MOTOR AND TRANS WILL ALL NEED GONE THREW IF YOUR GOING TO USE THEM, WE CAN SET THEM IN THERE FOR TRANSPORT IF YOU WANT THEM?. OR TAKE THE CAR, "AS IS NOW" WITH NO ENGINE OR TRANNY, THEN YOU CAN DROP IN A '59 BIG BLOCK 348 IN THIS WAGON TO MAKE IT A HIGHER DOLLAR ORIGINAL V8 '59! AS IT IS, IT IS FACTORY CODED A V8 KINGSWOOD WAGON.  PLEASE, LET US KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO, TAKE WITH A MOTOR OR NO MOTOR?

ALSO PLEASE NOTE! WE HAVE AVAILIBLE A 283 POWERGLIDE COMPLETLY REBUILT FOR $2000 SEPERATE IF YOU WANT THAT OPTION.

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, HAS VERY STRAIGHT LINES AND NO MAJOR DAMAGE OR BAD 1" THICK BONDO FOUND ANYWHERE. AGAIN, THERE IS SOME MINOR BODY WORK THAT WAS DONE WAY BACK ON THE LOWER REAR 1/4 PASSENGER SIDE, BUT FROM LOOKING INSIDE WHEEL WELL AND SPARE TIRE WELL, THE METAL LOOKS STRAIGHT, AND MUST HAVE ONLY BEEN SLIGHT SCRATCH DING TYPE DAMAGE REPAIR. THE CAR WAS REPAINTED ONCE WAY BACK, AND THE PATINA IS NOW SHOWING THREW IN SPOTS AFTER SITTING SINCE THE LATE 60'S. AGAIN, THE OWNER DID NOT RESTORE THE CAR AND DECIDED TO JUST CLEAN AND RE-ASSEMBLE THE CAR.

THE FRONT END HAS A FANTASTIC ORIGINAL GRILL AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END IS SUPER STRAIGHT & CLEAN.

THE ORIGINAL STEEL CHEVROLET 1959 CORRECT NIB STEEL WHEELS ARE THE ONLY REAL RESTORED PARTS, THEY HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALY BLASTED AND PAINTED, BLACK ON THE BACK SIDE AND BLUE  ON THE FRONTS. WHITEWALLS ARE SEARS F-78-14" TIRES BIAS PLYS. OK SHAPE GOOD TREAD, NICE LOOKS, BUT OLD 80's?. THE DOORS ALL OPEN & CLOSE NICE, ALL WINDOWS OPERATE GOOD, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IS ORIGINAL, NOT CRACKS OT BULLSEYES!!! THE SIDE GLASS IS ALL ORIGINAL CODED EZ-EYE, BUT FOR THE DRIVERS REAR DOOR AND WING WINDOWS. THE DASH COMPONENTS CANNOT BE TESTED BUT LOOK CLEAN, AS THE MAIN DASH WIRE HARNESS IS IN A BOX. YOU WOULD NEED TO PLUG THIS BACK IN AND REPAIR ANY NEEDED WIRES OR INSTALL A NEW HARNESS. THESE ARE REPRODUCED. DOOR PANELS WERE REINSTALLED TO SHOW CONDITION AND ALSO THE TOP METAL CAPS ARE NICE IF YOUR GETTING NEW DOOR PANELS THE REST OF THE PANEL WERE IT WAS WATER WARPED WAS REMOVED. THE DOOR UNDERSIDES ARE AS NEW FROM FACTORY CLEAN AND ORIGINAL AS SHOWN. HANDLES AND ARM REST ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH ALL SPRINGS AND PLASTIC LINERS IN PLACE.

NOTE: THE REAR POWER WINDOW WORKS WITH A BATTERY WIRED DIRECTLY TO IT, AS THE REAR WINDOW WIRE HARNESS PLUG IS OUTSIDE THE TAILGATE FOR THIS OPERATION ATTACHMENT, BY-PASSING THE MAIN HARNESS PLUG. WINDOW GOES UP AND DOWN NICE. WINDOW MUST BE  DOWN TO LOWER THE TAIL GATE.

MOTOR & TRANNY WERE TAKEN OUT AND CAN BE SET BACK IN FOR TRANSPORTATION, NOT HOOKED UP, THEN EASY TO REMOVE IF NEEDED. FRONT END STEERING IS OK, COULUMN IS NICE, TIGHT, BUT NOTE YOU WILL NEED UPPER AND LOWER A-ARMS BUSHINGS! ALSO FRONT END BALL JOINTS WOULD BE A GUESS. THE DRIVE SHAFT WILL BE IN THE LOWER FOOT AREA IN THE REAR SEAT AREA AS IT IS UNATTACHED.

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WORKS GOOD TO STOP THE CAR!

AGAIN, THERE HAS BEEN SOME PAINT FEATHERING SPOT TOUCH-UPS TO HELP SHOW THE CAR BETTER. WAGONS ARE BECOMING STRONG INVESTMENTS, SO PUT IT AWAY, OR RESTORE TO SHOW, OR KEEP AS IS AND HAVE FUN!

PLEASE ASK IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ON ANYTHING! A NICE ORIGINAL 59 WAGON THAT'S HARD TO FIND, AND IT'S ALL THERE!

IF YOUR LOOKING FOR THE WAGON ACCESSORY REAR BUMPER STEPS, HE HAD A SET BUT IS SELLING THEM SEPERATLY. A VERY NICE SET CHROME TRIPLE PLATED RECHROMED, THE ONLY PARTS HE HAD DONE FOR THE CAR BESIDES THE STEEL WHEELS, BEFORE STOPPING THE RESTORATION.
