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.

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

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

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:

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.

I was definitely born a few decades too late.

Those cars are exquisite to behold.

Many yrs ago there was a made-for-TV documentary on Roy Campanella, catcher for the old Brooklyn Dodgers. The 57 Chevy Convertible he drove skidded on some ice and smashed into a utility pole, leaving his legs paralyzed. Even though they didn't actually wreck the car, just the sound effects were "cringeworthy".

1957 Chevy 150 used by the Toronto, Ont. PD. I know someone in NY who restored a 150, a plain-jane 4-door, 6-cyl 3-on-the-tree originally part of a huge fleet ordered by the US Army. Most of them eventually wound up in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, where there's still plenty of them on the roads there. Even though it's not nearly as flashy as a fuel injected Bel-Air convertible, he did an incredibly meticulous restoration on it right down to the original mil specs unique to these cars.
