Hot Rods Lost 57 Chevy, last seen in Illinois

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by carcruse, Feb 28, 2021.

  1. Since August of 2009 when it was first posted, the Hamb has been unable to locate Dan Glover's 57 Chevy. I thought a thread with the last known location in the title instead of where it was originally from (Yuciapa Ca) might help.

    From past info posted here, this is latest known info:
    Lost 1957 Chevy 210 2 dr post sedan last seen in _______, Illinois and owned by ________(Jakes Rakes).
    Car was sold in 199__ from an ad placed by JakesRakes in the __________, Illinois Thifty Nickel paper. At time of sale, car was red with a 307 engine in stock location with no front bumper or grille. Car may have later gone to a government auction.

  4. The original thread had Yucaipa, Ca in title. Since car was last seen in Illinois, hoping this thread will get Illinois guys attention.

  5. It appears this car's current location has stumped the HAMB.

  6. Yucaipa post was "to the top" so lets try this one too. Someone has to have Dan's old car.

  8. Somebody has to know where this car is. The HAMB can't be stumped.

    I just hope it didn't get restored back to Stock, if it's still around at all. :eek:

    Seeing that it's a 210 Sedan, not likely it was returned to stock. If it were a Conv., definitely. A hardtop, quite possibly. Would be a lot of work to retro fit a stock firewall, etc, though that may have already been done to the 1995 version.
    In addition to the possibilities 2old2fast listed, it's possible the car (like so many) started to have mechanical issues, was torn down for a full rebuild and still sits blown apart in a garage.
    Also possible it simply sits in a garage as is and never gets driven because the owner lost interest (but still isn't interested in selling off the car). If the owner is a casual 'car guy' that's not on social media or hanging out with car guys, only a select few know of the car.
    The car could have been changed up with new paint, rolling stock and had the wheelie bars deleted making it look like a "normal" fixed up 57 and we'd never have a clue the Glover 57 just idled past us.
