The ‘59 Impala surely must rank among the ugliest cars ever made in America, it made the Edsel look good by comparison but it sold because it had the Chevy nameplate. The ‘55, ‘56 and ‘57 Chevrolet models, especially the ‘57, were beautiful, the ‘58 was passable but it was a total letdown coming on the heels of the ‘57, in my book they never again came up with another good looking car.
I have a similar opinion of Ford, I loved the ‘55, ‘56 and ‘57 models but they went downhill from there. As for the ‘59 the Ford was not the best ever but it looked like a dream compared to that ugly ‘59 Chevrolet.
I like the '59 Impala because my brother had one.
