This TX car was acquired by the current owner's father in the early '60s when still virtually new. His father liked to wheel and deal a bit and after using for a couple years, sold it. Purchaser was already in his senior years who literally only drove his beloved '59 to church on Sundays. By the mid-'70s he was no longer driving - but held onto the car. In the late '80s, he passed. Both purchaser and seller stayed in contact with each other through the years, with the seller passing before the purchaser. Enter daughter of purchaser, who decided the best fate would be for the '59 Buick to go back to the seller's family...somehow.
The car was driven into this spot in '89 on the son's property of the original seller and parked with less than 45k miles. Really is deserved of a better home. With rot limited to the top of the rear window (where molding is missing), restoration would not be intensive.
