Damn... I was working in the parts department at the local Chevrolet dealer when that car was new AND I was drag racing a 1955 Chevy 2 door here in Eureka, Redding and Medford Ore. Great memories for the most part, then the 55 attracted a young lady and it was love at first sight (her and the car) We were married 8 months later and I soon had to sell the 55 because I lost my job and took a cut in pay at the parts store. I still hold a grudge but don’t tell her...
One of my brothers, now gone, and a 101st Screaming Eagles paratrooper in the early 60s had a ‘57 white convertible, beautiful car. one of my other brothers rolled it in a cornfield the night before my other brother’s wedding,, he also had a nice Dodge Monaco 500 until his fiance ran it into a light pole. They still got married, she was just shooken up,,
