Congrats, that sounds like a good place, and a great price, especially
for SoCal's cost of living.
If you haven't before, when you get it back you might want to check any
'under-dash' vacuum accessories for leaks. The heater controls and the
automatic parking brake release (if a '59 has one?) can cause a pretty big
drain on the vacuum system if they're leaking. The brake release would also
only affect the car when it's in gear, which fits some of your symptoms.
