    From Kustomrama;

    "A second version of Santo's Chevrolet featured a wild scallop paint job by Larry Watson. The scallops were applied in 1957, and according to Watson, it was the most radical scallop paint job he did that year.The scallops have been described as looking like a map over the Los Angeles Freeway System."

    Essentially the same (w/ fiberglass nose and a supercharger.) Studebaker merged with Packard, but the results were not successful on any level. (The plan was to have included Nash and Hudson as well, as 'American Motors.')
