That’s a little higher than you’d expect.

When it comes to 1950s American land yachts, many lean toward the Chevrolet Impala. It offers accessibility, which is one of the reasons why so many lowriders favor them. Plus, the cars have miles of style with big tailfins, a healthy amount of chrome trim, and plenty of unique styling flairs, especially the models from the latter part of the decade. However, nobody would expect a 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible would auction for a lofty $135,600, but one did recently.

Posted on eBay, this Impala is a numbers-matching convertible. The white exterior and folding top and red interior is a handsome combination, and there’s no doubt this thing caused a stir with its look alone. It has a 348ci V8 under that expansive hood, with three two-barrel carbs feeding it. A smooth Powerglide automatic transmission and power steering is included. Bidding appears to have been fierce with 93 bids made before everything ended on July 29.
