Speaking of the '59 tail lamps:
My '59 F.I. Biscayne had different tail lamps from the factory.
What was the difference ?

Ardell Malowick...

.. led by ex-General Motors stylist Ardell Malowick, quit GM in mid-1957 when it was learned, to nobody's surprise, that the 1957 design was to be scrapped in favor of the longer, lower, wider '58 Chevy, which replaced the '57's peaked fins with contoured, sublimated fins.

That's it Becky. Great picture of my car. The chrome inserts alone were available from GM parts dept. I added them to my black 283 Fuelie Biscayne plus Impala dash trim, etc.
Oh the good old days.

This is correct. The width and offset on the DF wheel made the trim ring look unique when installed (no gap behind the trim ring), and the center cap stuck out further than what appeared normal.

I am not completely certain, but trying to find two DF wheels to replace a pair of Corvette rally's on the back was useless unless you found a wrecked Z-28 or bought new. I do not think they came on anything else. (could be wrong there)

I believe I ended up with a pair of Monte Carlo wheels that were better, but not completely correct
