Artifact Overview
Chevrolet introduced wider, roomier bodies and new grilles on its 1959 cars, but the most dramatic styling updates were in back. "Spread wing" tailfins and cat's-eye taillights distinguished the automaker's Biscayne, Bel Air, and Impala models. "Magic-Mirror" lacquer and "Safety-Master" brakes debuted for 1959. Chevrolet's calendar year sales topped 1.5 million cars, and model year production surpassed 1.4 million.
