help, powerglide wont shift into high gear.

I am hoping this is just an adjustment but doubt it. My father and I just had a freshly restored 1959 impala convertible delivered from Kansas to us here in New Jersey. The car is just as described except the powerglide wont shift into high gear. The seller only put test miles on the car and never drove it more than around the neigborhood so he never noticed it not shifting. The trans in supposed to be the original from 1959 and is cast iron and rebuilt from a transmission shop in Kansas. Hoping this is a simple fix and we dont have to tear into a fresh restoration to find the problem. Any ideas?
