Paging Mr. Moriarity!!!!
I just looked, and it wasn't FEATURED, but there was a pic of it in some show coverage

 

Oh! Neat ride! Somebody got to save it

 

Lets hope they pulled out of the building to take the photos!

 

As custom '55s go, that one is really tasteful and has nice lines. I sure hope it gets a good home!!

 

I love Tri-Five customs, and this one is tastefully done. Considering what these cars go for this seems like a pretty good deal, wish I had the coin.

 

I even have a nice front clip for it. Ok, ok, just kidding.

 

Would love to check that one out up close!

 

anyone have the pic from the mag?
cool little car.

 

I do, but I have a crappy scanner.
It looked like a nicely built custom.

 

Thanks for the scan! Has anyone seen it in any other magazines?

 

I KNEW I had seen that car before! I don't remember where I saw it, but the car is in Moody, AL, which is only about 15 miles away from me.

 

From OKC Talk, thread titled Southside OKC Memories....anyone?:

"Does anyone remember Emory Ashpaugh? Built the most exotic 55 chevy in OKC...went to Grant and was envied by everyone {even teachers}. He and a bunch of guys his junior year and too much beer and too much nerve he dove off the falls at Turner Falls. pushed his neck in and almost killed himself:...confined to a wheelchair until he just recently passed away."

He passed away in March 2004, according to the SS Death Index. (Born in 1942.)

 

Nice car, looks very savable from the pic. Crappy ending for the owner. I agree tastefull 55 Custom, hard to pull off.

 

that's a kool 55
