    All you old timers out there I need your help.....Looking for my first car I bought at 16 and over the next few years customized this 1950 Chevy 2dr Sedan. Sold the car in 1959 to a friend near Kansas City, MO and it was in the area until the early 70,s. Someone must remember seeing it back in the day....any information at all would be appreicated.
    Modifications: 55 Chevy headlights, 49 Merc grille shell, 54 DeSoto grille, Peaked hood w/rounded corners, One pc windshield, reversed 54 Merc taillights, twin antennas in right front fender. Was Maroon w/white rolled & pleated interior. Had SB Chevy, may have been change to Buick engine.

  2. I saw a car that resembled that in Chanute in the mid '70s. I may not have been the same car.
     
  3. Hey Skip. Glad to see you on here. Let's hope the "power of the HAMB" can help find your car.
