Re: 1978 Pace car the first speculated collector?
Back in the early to mid 1990's, I subscribed to some short-lived muscle/collector car magazine. It had a feature on a guy in (I believe) North Carolina who had ordered a brand new 1959 Impala sport coupe with the 348 engine (I think the 3 deuce version, but not positive on that) and 3 speed manual trans. White with red interior. He put it up on jack stands immediately after bringing it home from the dealer and never drove it. At the time of the magazine article, it had somewhere around 35 or 40 miles on it, some of that mileage from when he bought a different house and drove the car from the old garage to the new garage. I have never seen any other magazine coverage on that car.
