This guy found a 1959 Chevy Impala abandoned in a farm and decided to restore it.
This is an amazing car, and a potential gem once restored, but it isn’t the only thing that’s unique about it.
He also found several old treasures throughout the car.

A Redditor who goes by Felix Pony has shared images of the car on the platform, both when he found it and also now when the car is beginning to look a bit better.
This 1959 Chevy Impala looks like it came out of a retro-futuristic movie.
Time froze for this car because everything in it hadn’t been touched since 1969, when it was reportedly abandoned here for whatever reason.
This 1959 Chevy Impala is giving out Fallout vibes
The Fallout video game series, which also spawned a TV show on Prime, is set in an alternative future where technology has evolved in a different direction.
As a result, the series is sprinkled with details that are period-correct in 2077, when the timeline of the game begins, but would equally be perfectly normal in the 1950s or 1960s.
This Chevy Impala is stuck in time because it’s filled with 1960s ‘junk’ that, precisely because it’s so old, it now sought after by collectors.
Bottle caps, vintage motor oil cans, old newspapers – you name it.
This is exactly the sort of thing collectors are after these days.
Obviously, most of it is in bad condition, but some of it isn’t.
Chevy Impalas are hot at the moment
Collectors are now turning to Chevy Impalas, chiefly because other cars of the same era are unattainable, but the Impala is relatively inexpensive.
Models from the 1960s are sought ofter, but the 1959 model is possibly the most popular model chiefly, we suspect, because of its unique design.
They don’t make cars with those fins at the back anymore, do they?
