I remember early 70's living in Los Angeles seeing the 59 Chevy everywhere like on the freeway. Then they disappeared.

These things would rust before your very eyes, in 5 years they had huge holes in the fenders. I lived in Chicago where they had salt.

I can’t get over mid-50s Chevy cars, especially the ‘55 & ‘56’s, but gosh dang if the ‘59 isnt one of the most BADDEST cars around!! I just love it’s design of looking like a space ship, alien, or demon eyes in the back (however you see it), these cars look great stock which I prefer, but as low riders or drag cars they can look bad to the bone as well 💪.

Something straight outta the Jetsons. Imagine buying a car off the Chevrolet lot today and it comes with a huge V8 that purrs, gorgeous body panel design, BIG square or circular headlights, and spaceship shark fin styled tail lights. So sad watching these big comfortable boats disappear and will never be built the same again.. now the bumpers are fake chrome and plastic with hybrid 4 cylinder engines or all electric battery powered cars that look ugly as hell.

@@zeus8928 Yep man!! Perfectly said. It’s truly a shame what we’ve been dealing with since I’d say the 80s.. even though 80s and some 90s vehicles are tough, but easily by the mid-late 70s is when cars and trucks started becoming more pieces of shit and just made to break apart. Now we legit got aluminum cans on the road! An absolute shame! I’ll take a gas guzzling old school vehicle ANY DAY!! And the whole electric vehicle hype is just an over expensive scam. People are truly idiots letting the whole electric shit take over. Does more damage to Earth than old V8’s, Diesels or whatever pumping out emissions.

Boy: Dad, that new 59 Chevy wagon is cool! Dad: yeah, I wish we could buy one. Mom: the door on our old '47 Chevy doesn't close, but it's good enough Dad: But look how nice that new '59 is. I'm jealous of that guy who's gonna buy it! Mom: Forget it bud, we're not buying a new car! (Sees the rear door close and stay closed, then sees the door in her '47 Chevy open and spill all their groceries all over the sidewalk) OK, I'm willing to consider buying that '59 wagon if the doors stay closed.

A middle class white family would not have had a car that was at least 10 years old in 1959. Their suburban subdivision would have started a petition drive to have them run out as undesirable non conformists. This commercial was really designed to get them to trade in a perfectly good three or four year old car.

Stan Modjesky is correct. Old cars were everywhere in my neighborhood during that era. We didn't live in a "suburban subdivision" at that time, but nothing in the commercial suggested the characters in the ad did either. Generally speaking, people in the 1950's who grew up in the Depression of the 1930's judged people with old cars and old houses far less harshly than you seem to think.

My grandparents were hard working, not rich by any means, lived in middle class suburbs back then, they drove 40s cars in the 50s, 50s cars in the 60s, and 60s cars in the 70s, etc. All perfectly normal.

@@josephdunkle1152 Then your grandparents were an anomaly. The car the family trades in was at least a dozen years old and quite possibly built prior to WW II. Most people (certainly most white middle class suburbanites, as the family depicted in the commercial clearly are) did NOT drive decades old vehicles. From the mid 1950s until the late 1960s Chevrolet restyled cars every year and they could easily be identified by model year by a casual observer. "Planned Obsolescence" was the order of the day.
