    Look at that!
    When it comes to an original paint (with patina) 210, that has always been my favorite color combination.

  6. If that is the one I've heard about, then a guy named Jerry Covin and his... business partner?... built the hardtop a number of years ago. The other guy ended up with it, so Jerry went and built himself a convertible version of the very same thing. Jerry brought the convertible to the NWCCC tri-five show about ten years ago at the XXX Root Beer drive-in in Issaquah, WA (just east of Seattle). Cool car that got alot of spectator action and questions...

    I have been in love with this '55 since I saw it at the 1978 Street Machine Nats in Tulsa.

    You got a good one too! Always loved the 150 models, especially the 56 Utility Sedans (AKA Business Coupes). Had two of them over the years, and I'm currently on my TENTH 56 Chevrolet, another Sedan Delivery. I've had FOUR Sedan Deliveries. Iam Butch/56sedandelivery.

    IMG_0152.JPG My 1957 Nomad, I have had this car since early 80s. This is the second redo of the wagon completed in 2007. It has GMPP ZZ383, 4l60, Budnick Formosa wheels, Budnick Banjo steering wheel and Curie prepped 9 inch, Vintage air, all the power stuff and leather interior. I have never entered the Nomad in any type of car show, not my cup of tea...we just drive it!
     
  26. {A STORY} My dad bought a new Delray in 55. In 1957 a guy in a Nash , ran a stop sign an totaled it. He then got this 57. My dad, mom, brother, and myself were all OK. This is my mom with the 57. I'm the one with the flat top. lol Ron... 039.jpg 095.jpg 20160116_073940.jpg
