[fullchroma]

Wow. Me want!

Sweet a car with style.

That plaid upholstery is wild.

Humma humma humma. That’s a gem. My first car (in 1968) was a ‘53 Chevy w/3 on the floor. We called it the Blue Goose.

Nice car

[Trajan88]

Made in America... good stuff.

Wow! That is loaded for a '50 Chevy. Heater, visor and a clock. Mostly cheapskates bought those post coupes. The one thing that bugs me is the battery and cables. The cables have the wrong battery connections and it is a new battery. They make original looking 6 volts now. At least take the stickers off the one in it to give it a more stock appearance.

Unless it has been used a lot in the last 10 years, I know where a Ford 3/4 ton 1955 Pickup is located. It had only 5000 miles at the time, even had the original tires which did not show even the slightest sign of rot and actually had very little wear.

It was always kept indoors. For most of it’s life it was used as a fire truck then used as a welder’s truck. It was well kept up and really did still look almost new.

Wow, look at the fender skirts on that thing. Talk about the automotive equivalent of Jennifer Lopez’ backside!

Neat car.

Nice! One of my previous neighbors had a car just like it and the same color too, I believe. Not sure about the year, but must have been close to it.

That engine is likely a 216 cubic incher. Check out the oil bath air cleaner. The blue can with the orange lid in front of the air cleaner is the oil filter.

The 216 didn't really have a pressurized oil system. At faster speeds, the engine was very likely to starve for oil at necessary points (like rod bearings) due to the configuration. We had an old 1951 Chevy pick-up that originally came with the 216. My dad and I replaced the 216 with a 235 from a later model to get the pressurized oil system, and upgraded the 6-volt system to a 12-volt system.

Also, the '51 pick-up had the starter button on the floor underneath the gas pedal. I'm not certain if the car was the same, but it's probable.

You'd pull the choke on, pump the gas a few times, turn on the key, and push the gas pedal all the way to the floor to start it (ensuring a splash of fuel and open throttle for the start).

Nice.

 

Reminds me of this Grand National.

 

 

 

[Fresh Wind]

Isn’t that the color they used to call “no-sale green”?

[unique]

It's extremely rare to end up with an unmolested car.

I went for one that's been altered - a lot, but basically looks the same as factory. 55 was my favorite year for old style Chevrolet's....

Back in the early 1980s, I knew a guy in school whose family had a Pontiac dealership. And they had a 1970 1/2 Ram Air IV Trans Am (white with blue accents) that had never been sold! They had it in storage, and had carefully prepared the car for long term storage. I was never started after coming to the dealership.

The Chevy dealer where we bought a Tahoe in ‘03 had a 60’s model vette on the showroom floor that had never been sold and still carried the manufactures warranty.
