Normally I don’t like side pipes but man those look pretty good on that car. Cragars with spinners look good too. What’s the other 60 and the 56 in the background, parts?
Well the Parkwood was my brothers first car, I found it for him when I was an appliance repairman about 40 years ago at a customers house. He had a dent in the front, grill, radiator support and stuff, so we got the other 60, the white one, and repaired it the Parkwood. My Dad told him he should fix up the 2 door white one instead but we fixed the Parkwood.
Then he had a slightly bigger wreck. The frame and front end was really bad.
That's my 56 frame in the back background, did a frame off rebuild in the back yard at my Mom & Dad's house, they were not too happy about all the car and parts, so we had to get rid of the leftovers when we were done. So we took the 283 and powerglide out of this Parkwood and put in the white Nomad that my brother found. All of this was like around 1982 or 83.
This is my 56 210 that I did the frame off, can't call it a restoration, just a fixer up. I still have the car in my garage, that's the next project if I ever get the Nomad done.
The truck in the back was my 56 pickup, I put a 327 in it, added tilt and power steering and drove it for years, that's the only old car/truck that I ever let go. Grand Prix and Motor Cycle were mine too. I always had a bunch of cars it seems. The 56 210 has the original 235 with powerglide, its a nice car, but needs a little more horsepower LOL.
