Hello,
I have a 59 short fleet, and for starters there were
two (2) cabs for 1959. Mine is the plain Jane.
The fancy model had these options:
Chrome knobs on all dash controls except deluxe heater knobs.
Right hand sunvisor
Arm rests
Chrome trim around windows (outside)
Chrome grill and headlight doors, also chrome bumpers
Cloth and vinyl seat covers with foam pad (three color combinations, blue, green, beige)
lower dash painted blue, green , or beige.
Dual chrome outside mirrors
two tone paint available with wheels to match major body color
Chrome trim on fleetside body
the door inserts had same cloth as the seat covers
lastly, the window division bar and window frames will be chrome plated
the literature from GM should list all these, or find an old dealers Data book for greater detail and color
swatches of the upolstery. I have heard that SMS is reproducing the Deluxe cloth seat.
The big back window was often ordered on the deluxe cabs, although both small and large would be found
on the deluxe models.
I hope this helps 59shortfleet
