    Cool 55, and that's the most unusual "barn" I've seen. Looks like they were planning to build living quarters on the upper level. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

    The tires balance out just fine, look great, and go down the road well. Look for me next weekend, I'd like to check out your car.

    Just guessing by the cut core support and the steering wheel emblem, it started life as a six like mine. I just wonder if there is a tri 5 car with a replacement v8 where a 6 was , that doesn't have a hacked core support. Very cool find and it cleaned up really well. looks like fun.

    1955- one of my favorites. Definitely a milestone for the auto world.
    Should be a lot of fun. Plus it has nipples.:)

    What is the wheel and tire combo on your 55. Specifically the rear wheels but would also like to know what the fronts are. Has the rear been narrowed and has the car been lowered any? Nice find and a real good looking car.
