    I don't know who did it, but I certainly like what they did.

    That car was in the Chattanooga, TN - Rossville, GA area for a long time. I met the owner, whose name I cannot remember, after answering an ad on CL for some cast fence parts. I will try to find out who he is and get back to you.
     
  6. Can't help with the history, but I think you did a good thing by acquiring it.:).....Don.

    thanks to everyone for the kind words and help, I am more than tickled to death to have made this trade, I have wanted a 54 hardtop for a long time, he came to me with the trade, I got it with radar mags and blackwalls, changing to www and hubcaps as soon as I can, this is a great site with a lot of great people, thanks again and any leads will help

    Very nice car. Enjoy it and drive it. I hope to meet you somewhere this season. Consider the Fall St. Louis Hot Rod Hundred Reliability Run. Sam

    I know the top is white but the rest looks a lot like it. I took this picture in 1985 at the Kkoa show in Ohio

    All I can say is that is Textbook cool for a mild 54 Chevy hardtop. My favorite year of 50 something Chevys far and away.

  22. I’ve seen the car in person and it looks as good or better than the photos.

    Beautiful car Tom!

    How’s the truck coming along? You should post some photos of that!!

    Very nice '54. Looks like whoever built it did a very nice job putting it together.

    These, for sure!
    Distinctive, yet suggestive of the Chevy cap. They seem tailor-made.

    Olds hub caps are my favorite but I think this car would look bad ass with some reversed chrome wheels.
