A passenger car starter will have the solenoid-type engagement, either 6 or 12 volt. I believe the starter for the Powerglide-equipped cars has a different nose cone than the one for the standard shift, and is very scarce. Use the stick shift car starter.

1938-62 216, 235, and 261 starters will all bolt up the same(except Hydramatic). They will need to match the 6 or 12 volt flywheel though.
On your 59 you would need a 1960-62 truck starter or a 1955-62 pass starter.
