Behind every car there is a story
David Dennis, from Milton, Vermont, was beaming with pride as people came over to his 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne. When he acquired it in 2014 it only had 3389 miles on it. There had only been one true owner before him. A farmer from Illinois had bought the car in 1957 and had passed away in 1960. It had stayed in a barn on the property.
It was not touched again until it was auctioned off in 2012. The car dealership that bought the car had it on display and had the car up for sale. David saw it on line and made an offer that was initially not accepted, but after months of contact, the dealership accepted his offer and Dennis admitted that he jumped for joy after he realized that the car was to be his. It was January 2013 and Dennis had to wait until the spring to go to Illinois to pick up the car. He said it was one of the longest waiting periods of his life.
The car had to be detailed with a full cleaning and a few hoses had to be changed, but the original sticker for its first oil change is still on the door. This is one of 200 cars that was made without an oil filter. The car has a two-toned finish – arctic white and tropic turquoise. It has a six cylinder blue flame 235.5 cubic inch motor. It truly is one of the finest examples of an existing model of the Chevrolet Biscayne. Even the colours sound more exotic than today's tones. This Biscayne is a two-toned arctic white with tropic turquoise.
