1959 Chevrolet Impala. I will list this car to the best of my abilities pardon me if I forget something, this impala was restored in the late late 90s, I Purchased a vehicle from a quadriplegic who installed the handicap controllers I already removed them they welded two small brackets under the column that are hardly noticeable and they made a hole about 1/2” on the floor to add the extra brake pedal which has already been removed.
The guy told me in the almost 15 years he owned the car and maybe drove it about 500 miles The most part it’s sad inside the garage,

The speedometer and odometer do not work I was told by the previous owner that right after he rebuilt the transmission he was having issues with the speedometer and odometer which leads me to believe the gauges should work it’s probably the piece that’s connected to the cable it was never a big deal to me so I never got around to fix it
The clock and the fuel gauge do not work either again I never got around to fix that I have too many projects
I’ve driven the car about 700 miles since I’ve owned it in the year it’s been in my name
Just like all old cars this one leaks a lil bit of oil. I believe it might be from the timing chain cover but I’m not sure
And the rear end differential leaks a tiny bit of oil also don’t worry it’s got oil
Radio needs attention. I hear it turn on but can’t hear any stations.
The car does have a few small paint chips that were touched up
I’m only allowed to put 24 pictures
Car does have radials white wall tires
I have the plastic plugs that go on the trunk and a brand new trunk mat I have not installed yet it will come with the car
