It was still bad. roadster with a stick
Wow!!! That is one rare car. It just doesn't get more rare than one of zero. The SS wasn't released till 1961. I'm not callin you a liar so don't get upset. Sometimes memories get a little foggy. Or maybe the SS badges were added later. I've seen that done on that year before. Either way it was a pretty rare, highly desirable car. When I was younger I had a black 1959 ElCamino and a 1964 Impala SS convertible. It was white with beige. With the 327 4sd.
