Website Spotlight - OKChevys.com

The Central Oklahoma Classic Chevy Club has done a nice job of transcribing vintage car reviews on their website, including Speed Age's December 1958 review of the `59 Chevy. In fact they've cataloged reviews from 1955 to 1971 in the Memory Lane section of the site. Any classic car nut can appreciate a project of this magnitude, because to duplicate it would mean spending countless hours either at the library, the swap meet, or on eBay finding the backissues they've compiled right on this site. Nice work!

Their site overall is worth a look so visit http://www.okchevys.com to check it out. You'll be greeted by a nice Flash intro that has fun pictures of "The Hot Ones" from 1955 to 1957. Once you're into the site, there's some great information in the Reference library and club car photos in Club Information.

Once you're ready to see the car reviews, click [Nostalgia] and then [Memory Lane] to visit the list. Enjoy your visit...I sure did!

Website Profile: Jims59.com

Here's a place to spend your coffee break. Or maybe an entire afternoon! Jims59.com outlines - in tremendous detail - the restoration of a low-mile `59 Impala that had been stored for 35 years. The restoration photos include many shots of the car in various states of assembly; Jim also discusses methodically what type of work needed to be done to each corner and each panel. The car was so nice that he ended up only repainting the blue portion of the car; the white paint was perfect. This section of the website can be used by `59 enthusiast to see exactly what their own `59 might look like underneath the grit and grime. This car is beautiful!

Aside from the restoration, Jims59.com also provides some vintage photos of `59s going back 25+ years. Also a nice feature to the site is his section on Vintage Schwinn Bicycles. Make sure to stop by his site today and check it out!
