My Grand Dad owned a 59 just like that. To my knowledge it was the only two door car he ever owned. Didn't keep it very long and purchased a 61 similar color. Always owned a straight drive w/out a radio until he couldn't get a straight drive or a car without radio. 73 I think. In my life time he owned a 57, 59, 61, 62, 66, 73, 74 and a 78 which may have been the ugliest color combo ever cream with a brown vinyl top. All were Impalas except the 57 and 66, they were Bel-airs. As you can see he was a Chevrolet guy. Great start on a beautiful car although at the time maybe a little far out for most.

My grandfather did the same thing.  '63 Bel Air 4 door sedan, straight six, three on the tree!   I even found an old family letter from my father to my grandfather telling him to order the 283 automatic car for like $100 more!  

In 1970 he bought his first Ford LTD, with automatic and air. I don't know what got into him!  Then he bought the same car over and over... gold LTD, until his last car in 1989.
