Default 1959 Chevy Convertible: Too ghetto for me

Yes, I'd have to de-ghetto it. I ask Jackie Chiles what does he think of it? His reply in second photo.

What's that funny looking thing on the back, about the size and shape as a tire?

If your period is 1990's Lowrider.

Somebody spent a lot of money to **** up a nice car.

The suspension would have to be changed and the frame repaired/replaced

back to stock, the skirts, wheels, and conti-kit would have to go, and a 348 with tripower, 4 speed on the floor, and American torque thrusts would have to go on. 15" diameter, too. Not those ****ing stupid looking 20's and up that the tattooed crowd seems to love.
