Default 1959 Chevy: What's the contraption on the rear bumper?
Caption on photo: Busted! Trying to sneak one too many people into the drive-in theater.

California plates on the vehicle. The contraption looks like a continental tire holder to me.

I was going to guess the Hulk handle, so the Hulk has something to hold onto when it’s time for a Hulk smash.

I might be wrong.

In my day we snuck into the drive in but using the exit only road. Then the drive in got smart and installed a tire shredder that would puncture your tires.

Aside from the missing tire and wheel cover, I am going to guess it is part of a Continental kit, but that's just a shot in the dark/wild ass guess.

Wrong-o.

Only the continental kit is ugly. The rest of the car is kick ass. And it's the same year you are. So if you were born a car, this is how you would look. Except probably a 4 door sedan.

It's a '60, and yeah, gorgeous, but needs some real wheels and tires, not those donk atrocities.

It needs a continental tire kit, to give it some class.
