Urban Observation: '59 Impala Preserved

This mint-condition, 1959 Chevy Impala was sighted at a gas station on Waialae Avenue in Honolulu recently. This fine vehicle, made during the same year that Hawaii achieved Statehood, sets an excellent example of how we should respect our buildings of similar vintage: maintain its design integrity from the  inside/out and keep it functioning and meticulously maintained. Although, it is not entirely fuel efficient, at least it runs on unleaded gas, says its owner of over 50 years... check out those tails! Dean Sakamoto photos above.
