This car was the classic story—it was found in a farmers yard in not the best of condition. I removed the body and reconditioned the frame. It has been modernized with 350/400 engine/transmission, AC, Cruise and even an air suspension system from a Lincoln.
It is my daily driver for all but the snow months. It now has over 45,000 miles on it since I finished it. It is very fun to drive and sure gets a lot of thumbs up. The paint is getting a little tired (has lived all of its life outdoors), but it still doesn’t look too bad. |
This photo was taken in ‘87 shortly after we all returned from the maiden trip to Springfield Illinois for a car show and some fun ‘50s activities. No, the cat did not make the trip with us! |
‘56 ChevyAs is the case with several of my project pages, they were written quite some time ago and are a bit antiquated in format. However, they still tell the story. |
