San Jose Cruise Pix - May 13th

[Shoeboxer]

Here's a couple quick photos of the cars that came out this evening...heck, I left at about 5.50pm and there were already lots of awesome cars there!

[Shoeboxer]

Here's a sweet custom Merc....

[Shoeboxer]

The awesome rat-surf-wagon! I want this ride!!!

[Shoeboxer]

More of the rat-surf-wagon....

[Shoeboxer]

IN-credible pinstriping! I've got to go to a meeting...I'll post more later tonight.

[Shoeboxer]

BTTT with the big and small of it all...Nash Metro wedged next to a '47 Town and Country!

[Shoeboxer]

And one last pic before crashing out to dreams of my own rod someday...a 50 or 51 'Boxer that rolled in just as I was leaving.

[Humboldt Cat]

GREAT pics! Makes me feel better that somebody else was enjoying the great weather today (I've been buried in college crap). That surf rat looks way boss, looks to be a Dodge, actually. Would love to see more if you got 'em.

[Shoeboxer]

I've got lots more...took some little detailed photos of it. I can email them directly to you or shrink them the little they need to be posted here.

Good photos.

Humboldt,
It's a 27 Willys, formerly a 4 door sedan, now 2 door phaeton. It's done right with the original door lengthened.
The wild pinstriping is by Eyebone.

Mikes, is that your ride? Do you know the owner? I'd love to talk to him and get more info on it.
I will work to get pix up this weekend...got a birthday party to attend tomorrow, but perhaps in the AM before the wife and I leave.

No, the surf wagon is not mine, belongs to a friend from Santa Clara. PM me with your email and I will forward it to him.

Mine is the white/gray Merc.

[Shoeboxer]

Ohhhh, yeah! That Merc is niiiiice! How'd you get the hubcaps to do that?

That's a nice 150 (maybe a 210) series 2 door station wagon, but not a Nomad.
Chevy made 5 different stationwagons that year, a 2 dr and 4 dr 210 series, a 2dr and 4 dr 150 series and the Nomad.
You can tell the '55 Nomad apart by the the canted "B" pilar, the spears on the trunk, the chrome hoods over the headlights and the (one year only) radiused rear wheel well.

Damm...almost got away with it..... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Don't forget, I'm a Brit, and '55 Wagons are few & far between, so...99% of the time, we refer to them as Nomad's... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Hell, any wagon's are rare!!

I'm off to study my 'Big Book of Chevy I.D's' now..... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Dave...still a damm tourist http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Shoeboxer]

Yeah...you guessed it http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Shoeboxer]
