This is an Original 1959 Chevrolet Dealer Showroom Album , complete and in excellent condition as noted below. It has 76 Full Color pages in a 19 ring metal loose leaf binder with heavy textured covers. It measures 10" tall by 13" wide and 1 1/2" thick. All the '59 Car Models, Body Styles and Interiors are beautifully illustrated (many cars are spread across two pages). At the back of the book (attached tio the inside back cover) is a special section which includes 25 pages of single and two-tone 5 x 9" color chips and 24 pages of actual interior & convertible top fabric samples for every model.

All the 1959 Car Models are covered: Impala - Bel Air - Biscayne - Station Wagons and the CORVETTE, which has 4 pages dedicated to it alone. The El Camino and Sedan Delivery are not included but much of the material in the book applies to those models. This was the dealer's Bible for '59 Chevy cars!

T are detailed descriptions and illustrations of all '59 standard and optional equipment, including body, chassis and mechanical details. T are drawings for each model that point out which materials were used in each interior area of the car. Power team charts show the availability of the various engine, transmission and axle combinations and t are large illustrations of these components too, including the Ramjet Fuel Injection Engine and Four-Speed Transmission.

Complete specifications are included, as well as a list showing RPO numbers for optional equipment and models on which the options were available. Major options are also illustrated including Air Conditioning. And t are four pages devoted to picturing Custom Feature Accessories, including the Continental Kit.

This album is in excellent condition with no writing, tears, or creases. The cover is one of the nicest '59s I've seen, with minimal spine corner wear thru and average spine wear. T are a few small scuff marks on the back cover. The pages are excellent with only light scuff marks on the title page and cover page for the color/upholstery section. The diecut page tabs are very nice with light dust soil on a few and show little use, though t's some creasing on the last (bottom) two tabs. T's one small 1/4" place on the inside of the back cover w the lining paper is torn, by the slot that accepts the color/upholstery section. The color chips & upholstery samples are very nice and none were ever stuck together. I doubt if this book was ever used much in a dealership.

My reserve is about half of what these books usually sell for. This is a chance for you to get a really nice Dealer Album that you won't have to worry about upgrading in the future. It' s a key item and resource for any '59 Chevy collection or it'll look terrific displayed with your '59 car!
