Hi everyone, I'm from So Cal and own a 55 Chevy. Familys been into cars since forever, Dad homebuilt all of our cars and does interiors, bro's a mechanic and races at Perris Speedway, mom owns a Nova pro streeter that I've started to race...you get the idea. Anyways just introducing myself...so yeah...um Hi!
Thanks...cool pics from mooneyes btw...I was there racing the pink 68 Nova and my 55 was by all the gasser guys in the pits.
Welcome! I love your car! 55, 150, 2 door posts are the nicest of all tri 5's in my opinion, is that an original color for a 150? I've seen an original color that looks like that with a charcol color on some two tone Belairs. Wish I still had mine, Take Care, Dan
After looking at the pic of your 55 again I just noticed the odd trim combo, It looks like a 150 with the trim behind the front wheel and under the door added, or is it a Bel Air without the trim around the windsheild and down the sides? Dan
Its an One-Fifty. My dad and I argued about the Bel Air side trim (he wanted it, I have other thoughts about it) so I came up with running the rock guards/runners down the side. Just this year, I let him put the Bel Air dash chrome on it too. To your other question, the color is actually a 58 Buick color. I wanted a stockish color but hated the Salmon, its too pink for me. And I fell in love with the Buick color, and once again I was up against my dad for the color choice as well. He finally said "its yours, whatever you want."
Wow I like that one...might have to put that on the 55 somewhere. Thanks again for all the welcomes and Happy Holidays to you all.
Sweet ride.I have a couple 57 chevy's both are toast . the salt air here on the coast of mass and the salted roads have killed them anyone looking for parts?
