Tony Cooper - Marion, Ohio, USA

[Faulkner]

Tony's gorgeous Suburban is stunningly beautiful in color! He writes, "I bought my first 59 Suburban in 1977 when I was 17. I drove it for 5 years until one day, it got hit by a plumber's large van full of tools."

Fortunately no one was hurt, apart from minor bruises!

"I always wanted to have another one so 3 years ago I found this 59 out in Sacramento California; before that it sat in a shed in Nevada. I had it shipped here to Ohio."

"I bought every good part I could find on eBay, and I bought 2 parts cars. And finally the exterior is beautiful. I did upgrade the engine. It’s now a 440. Automatic, disc brakes. I have put a hitch on it to pull a 1961 Metzendorf travel trailer I am restoring."

"The new wagon has parts from the old wagon! There's nothing like driving a '59 Suburban."

A fine companion!
