The Coachman Show ’55

The Coachman Show ’55

I’ve covered the Coachman Show a shit ton in the past… If you are in the dark, you can get the details on the entire footage here. What I don’t think I’ve ever talked about though is my infatuation with a ’55 Chevrolet hardtop that makes a very brief appearance in the footage. Here’s a quick clip I made:

So, the Coachman Show footage is so valuable because just about every heavy hitter from the time made an appearance. Roth, Von Dutch, Grabowski, Watson, Barris, etc… everyone who was anyone is represented in one way or another in the film.

And yet, to do this day I still regularly dream about some high school kid’s ’55 Chevrolet that was in the film for just a few seconds. Ironically, I don’t think about the Dream Truck or the Kopper Kart or the flamed Gullwing or… I just think about this punk kid’s car. I honestly think it might be favorite car at the show and I don’t even dig on tri-fives all that much.

Pretty sure I need help.
