    Any one know the fate of Joe Bailon's '55 Chevy Pickup. It was was made by converting a car into a pickup. It had his trademark candy apple red paint job. The last time I saw it, it was sitting in a trashed out front yard slowly rusting into the ground on the Eastex Fwy. in Northside Houston Texas.
    Any photos?
    Peace,

    I thought I read somewhere that he had gotten it back. It might be the 50 Ford I'm thinking of though.

    The first version was the best. Nice and clean lines! Later someone added Dodge tail fins to it.
