So now I know what happened to all the '55 Chevies!!
Lucky, from your question earlier - definately the 'Stang! What else (especially seeing as how I owned one exaclty like it! )
I have a pic of my dad from the '50s sitting a rod exaclty like the 3rd pic from the bottom on those hot rod pics you posted. See if I can get it scanned.
Such a simplier time! Dials easy to read, carbs that a 5 yr old can work on and engines that you can count all the parts on two hands. Miss those days.
