Default Interested in buying a '59 Impala

Hi everyone,

I'm a new member here. I live in Malta, a small island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea (Europe). I'm interested in buying a '59 Chevrolet Impala. I'm looking for an excellent car. I'm interested in this car which is at RK Motors: 1959 Chevrolet Impala For Sale | Collector and Classic Cars For Sale | RK Motors Charlotte

I appreciate your opinion about this car and appreciate your advice.

Thanks. You are right. I need some opinions about the car and what is important to check when buying a '59 Impala. My dad already owns a '58 Impala.

The car looks great. Since you live in Malta and the car is in Charlotte it is well worth the money to pay an appraiser or mechanic to check the car out before you buy. Also take into consideration the shipping charges to get the car to you.

The seller is sending all the pictures I'm asking for. He will also be sending a video. As you said I was considering someone to inspect the car.

Hi everyone. The Impala is now in Malta. It's a really nice car in and out. The problem is the doors are hard to close due to new weatherstrips which has been on the car for more than a year now. I know that this is a common problem with new rubber but since the problem is still there after several months I thought the rubber might not be of a good quality. Does anyone had this problem and could give any advice please?
