Hello Kurt: 

I'm Emilio Luis from Spain. Finally I have found a website dedicated to `59 Chevys. I have a `59 Bel-Air, and bought it two years ago in Uruguay. My love for the `59 Chevy started when I was a child in Venezuela (I was born there). My parents had a `59 Bel-Air, and it is the first car that I remember. When we moved from Venezuela to Spain in 1974 my parents sold it. That is the year that I began hoping to one day find another `59. I looked for many years here in Spain, but no `59 appeared. Then,  two years ago, I became the luckiest man in the world; I found it one Uruguay, using the internet. The owner and I corresponded by e-mail; when we were in agreement over a price I went to Uruguay, I saw the `59 and I fell in love. 

My car has a 348 V8 & Powerglide transmission.  The car seems new. I only had to change the tires, because the ones it had were very old. The car is running very well currently. Two of the pictures I sent were taken at a friend's wedding. My girlfriend and I appear in another.  One picture is of the first car that my parents had in Venezuela, a `55 Chevy. Before this car my parents had many trucks: Ford, GMC, Chevrolet, Dodge. The woman who appears in the photo is my mom, and it was taken in 1955.

I know that have many cars take many money. I have five cars and I know. I only have the 59 like special car. The others are normal cars here: one Ford (german Ford, not american), one Renault, one Seat, one Peugeot. European cars. But I sure that we'll have other american cars.

Best regards 
Emilio Luis
