Interior views are of a different car - the dashboard doesn't match, and more importantly the A-pillar and adjoining door frame is all wrong. The wipers are also arranged in a tandem pattern unlike that of a '59 Chevy.

rjluna2 ◊ 2024-12-04 16:57	Yes, there are more than one V8 engine size/configuration and sometimes the 'V' badge shows what in it.
