My favorite car. Ever.

[ETL]

I threw in a few trucks and wagons also.

My father’s 55 Chevy was the car I regularly drove in high school, when he let me. He bought it used. He bought a new 57 Chevy Belair 4-door hard top and drive it for several years.

My favorite was the 58 Bel air because that was my first car. A V-8 engine with very rapid acceleration, it was fun to drive when you're 17.

Oooooo NICE!

We had a 56 six cylinder. Three speed on the column.

It was a bit of a lemon but it did look nice.

Black and white with flames, I’m in love.
Roll and Tuck and a big V-8...mmmmmmm.

Classic. Whoever designed them should win the Nobel for Car Design. Haven't seen a manifold like the red one shown -- anyone know what's the story with that?

Remember these:

[ETL]

You’re very welcome. Glad to share.

[ETL]

Remember these

Of course. I also remember the kits costly $2 ea. Now they're $22.00 and up! And, yes, some stores still carry them. And the boxes look new. Don't know if the manufacturers are still making them or not.

I owned a 55, you didn’t even need a key when I got it second hand, the ignition lock just turned by hand.

It was at a time when some of us left the keys in our cars at night anyway and only rolled up the windows for rain and in the winter.

[Radix]

I was definitely born a few decades too late.

Those cars are exquisite to behold.

Thanks for the memories
