Hot Rods 55 chevy owners

looking for for owners of 55 chevy 2drs please post pics

 

55 Chevy's are pretty rare, you might not get many replies.

 

Moriarity that's one of my favorite 55's.

 

just sold this black one that I owned for 33 years .the white one I drove in high school and I am now building another with a big block working on it takes a lot of my time.

 

Moriarity,

I still love that car. Back in the late 70's- early 80's when I was buying the little books for a quarter or so apiece, this was the type of car that fascinated me. My friends couldn't understand it because it wasn't jacked up in the back and on Cragars. Perhaps I am an old soul, but I am pretty cool with that. Always wanted a custom '55, but have never gotten around building one.

 

Here's a couple photos of my 55. The first is from 1972 when it was owned by an older couple in Somers Point N.J. The second is how it looks today. I bought it in April 1977, when i was 14 years old. Paid for it with my paper route money, drove it through high school, and finished a full body off resto in 1998. Unlike most black 55's this was all black from the factory. It's never been any other color.....Well, besides primer.

 

How mine looked about a year ago. I swiped the blower off it since then...now it has a different hood, front bumper, wheels, etc.

This is my old man's. I grew with this car, sits in my barn now waiting for him to complete his house and new garage were it will have a sweet new spot.

 

Heres mine

 

Here is mine. My first car. I got it August 21, 1972.

 

This 55 was "the Flag Car", an early 50's Dodge pickup front axle and engines varied from 283's to L88 motors. This picture was taken in 1973 and was my cousins car. Later the car ended up in a salvage yard in Atlantic Iowa and the guy that owned the yard lamented that he had crushed it. Sorry the picture isn't in color, it was in flag colors, picture was taken in my grandmothers driveway. This is the only picture that he has of the car and I enlarged it and framed it with a 55 GM rear window bezel and it hangs in his house.

 

Here's mine. Never painted, gonna fix that in a year or two.

 

Here is mine.

My SBC & Muncie-equipped BA HT:

 

I've had mine since 1977...454, Muncie 4 speed, narrowed 9" Ford with 4.86 gears

 

Here's mine.

 

Nope...and I need to change the front wheels before I post a picture here, it has some slightly too modern ones on it now.

 

Here's my ol beater back in the 70's. 327, Muncie 4 spd, 57 Pontiac rear.



Here it is today.

 

How come none of these cars have 22 inch wheels?
