Hey Roger, what's the skinny on this '59 -- have you seen it around? Isn't this the same car with the '58 trim we've seen before on eBay?

sorry, I missed the initial post, Dan. To answer your question, this was the first FL cat I owned. I bought it in the early 90s from a teenager who had purchased the car in Portland, OR. He wanted a "Christine" lookalike, so he took off the Belv trim, had the car painted red with white inserts. The bodyshop used peel-n-stick "chromed" strips to mimic Christine.
As for you second question, who is exnervirg, I do not know. where did you see that moniker?

Corrections...I had a cat, but I meant to type "car".
and "virgilext" was the other word I typed wrong. (The license plate I had on the car in discussion was "Exner59).

Roger, the moniker has a "one" at the end -- virgilex1. And while looking at the YouTube video in Matthew's post, I spied a related link along the right hand side -- I provided the link in my reply to Matthew. That's the one by virgilex1, and that's the one I'm wondering about: Who's the dude who sold the car, and who's the dude that bought it?
