I spotted her sitting in a field beside the highway on one of my trips. She's never been a race car, but is just sitting there waiting for her dreams to come true.

My thoughts exactly, Bill. I had just sold my P/U when I found this beauty. Not too worried about the Bopper...he's a mod-man.

My best buddy, Frank drove a red '59 Chevy in high school and I drove a '57... both belonging to our respective fathers. His was nicknamed the "Batmobile" and it was NOT a term of endearment!

Has to be one of the worst looking cars of the era I'd say...even though I'm not a Chevy kind of guy...I do like all the 50's Chevies, but not this one.

Dang--that critter got to straight a body to build a circle car out of it. But boy would it make a heck of a nostalgia Speedway car or just a car to drag to the Reunions.. Someone needs to jump on this one quick Does look familiar doesn't it

This was my down fall right here.Drove it to a certain store in Orange Park Fla in the 60's and a living doll came out and said "Is that your car?" The rest is history made in heaven

Johnny, Hope your place came thru all the rain OK. We got a ton here in Orlando but its pretty well gone because the ground was so dry before Debbie. What say we go get that "ugly" car and make a vintage roundie round car outta her after we make her beautiful again.... I got an extra bay in the race shop here and one in N. Georgia also.

ps. I also have the phone numbers of her present owner and I'm told that price is sorta soft....
