Old Cars Reader Wheels: 1959 Austin-Healey
Bought for $500 in 1975, this reader’s ’59 Austin Healey is still bringing the excitement after all the years.
Ira Erbs has received well over his $500 worth of joy out of this sweet ’59 Austin-Healey.
I’ll let Ira speak about his pride and joy….
"I bought this car for $500 in 1975 when I was 19 years old and have owned and restored it over the last four decades. My wife of 40 years and I had our first date in it, and my kids have grown up with the "Beast." They insist I never sell it as they want it next."
