The 1955 Chevy was clean:



The 1956 was classy:


The 1957 is an icon but this one is a 283 cid fuel injected V8 :



Now, the 1958 certainly had more chrome and looks like it was cast in dough.

I'm guessing it had a hemi? Could it be a Chrysler 300C?

The Mighty Chrysler 300C with its 392 cid Hemi with twin 4 barrel carbs putting out 375 HP.

A worthy choice but not the quickest. Maybe the classiest.

You have to tell us if it's according to manufacturers BS, or if it's independently confirmed. I recall Detroit used to be very, umm, "creative" in those days.

Rick, which garage is your's?

Adrian I submitted a picture but the extraordinary people with the ordinary garages page didn't seem interested, for whatever reason ... Please remove your shoes prior to entering.

My brother had a 4 bay glass doored garage in his last house.... I think he really just likes cleaning things.....

In his current home he has a lift for his restored porsche .. to accommodate more parking ......
