Interesting side trim on that Chevy

 

What the ......? ...............

 

Looks like the one pretty boy has his sisters pedal pusher pants on

 

Looks like Louis Tomei in 1939 at Indianapolis. Car had a straight 8 Buick engine and failed ot qualify. I'm not sure but this may be a several year old Herman Rigling converted two man chassis.

 

Post 171755 is Log Cabin Inn on old Rt 66 Pontiac,il. 100 miles south of Chicago. My home town.Still there today.Stop in and have a burger.Only a couple miles off of Interstate 55.The story goes the Restaurant actually faced to the east.When they rerouted Rt 66 to the west alittle ways,they jacked up the building,and spun it 180 to face the new road.This picture was taken after the spin.

 

I glad you like the 55's ......but these are 56's.

 

Looks like clam diggers, kind of see the stripes on the sides, popular in shore areas in the late fifties early sixties

 

Yes, they tried to pass them off as menswear as part of the popularity of Calypso music around '57. I had a friend who was making a TV appearance as a Calypso singer and I think he wore them for that. My mother tried to convince 13yr old me that they were the "latest thing" but I declined. I suspect people who didn't live in coastal areas missed the whole thing.

 

Dang! That looks like the tailend of a 1936 Ford convertible sedan trunk model!!
There are only about 125 of them surviving today.

 

those are '56s. here's some skinny kid with his '56 (98) back in '65!

 

WOW!
