Sure miss our ‘57 Bel Air, we restored it to looking and running new, husband did body work and painted it the stock colors, using Turquoise/White lacquer, like glass. But ran out of room juggling cars for garage space, and couldn’t go anywhere without worrying about parking/leaving it for any time. Had people asking me about it every time I drove it, met lots of nice folks. We went on to do lots of 4-wheeling and other activities, but just cruising in the ‘57 had been the best!

That’s the fun part, everyone asks about the car. I got mine in pretty rough condition and have finally got it running and driving well. But people still say “beautiful car” even though it has some missing trim and dents.
