Sorry for all the pics of the same car........just so much detail and beautiful craftsmanship/attention to detail......the colors grab you and pull you in,I don't see anything old about the styling to me it's timeless.......I'll stop ranting now.
I agree......even though it is not the style I would build......it just keeps pulling me back to look at it again. There was the term "period perfect" used on here the other day about a very cool unrestored '62 with some street racing history....but this car just seems to really hit home with that phrase. It also kinda reminds me of the little "kiddie" ride cars at the county fair when I was a kid with all of their heavy metal flake paint jobs.Thanks for the pics. That's an awesome car. I can't stop, looking at it.
Yep and that is definitely the right car to wear it.I hear you, Jason. Metal Flake, isn't popular as it once was, but it still looks awesome, on the right cars.
this car is currently owned by one of my buddies!
yep, held at the fitchburg ,ma airport, on the 2nd runway. 330' drags. blew my tranny powershiftin 2nd at that meet
.......Wow - after almost 40 years a friend yesterday said - hey I got some pics of your old 55 at St. Thomas,
that track is in Sparta, Ontario about 20 mins from London, Ontario and was a major player back in the early
60's and 70's and continued on and still operates today.......all the big names have run at St. Thomas......including
Sox & Martin and the Ramchargers
so here's some very old pics from around 1977/78....notice no guard rails..........that's my C/MP 55 Chev running a 327 about
400 hp, M22 and 488's..........car ran low 13's so was not a real contender in C/MP but was sure a lot of fun......

Here's some pics of us towing the above 55 Belair in Feb '77 thru one
of the worst snow storms the New York Thruway ever saw......:eek
Almost a foot of snow on the roads and had to have someone ride
in the 55 and steer so it wouldn't jack knife......
