  • Post war optimism led to fresh, exciting models like the first small block V8 and two seat T Bird. Which is your favorite?

    Never was ga-ga over the '55 Chevy. They always looked like a stodgy old lady's car to me. Nothing compared to the other offerings from GM that year.
    I liked the 50's Thunderbirds a lot. Especially the 1957 models. My very first model i ever built was a '57 T-bird, back in 1967! Painted it Robin Egg blue.

    It was a beautiful car! I also remember my Dad holding me in his arms so I could see inside the engine bay of his friends bright red 57 Chevy with a brand new transplanted 348 with tri power that was not stock at all ! it was bored and stroked , with a four on the floor! Moon hub caps with cheetah slicks! It was very fast for that day and age! Wish I could go back! Anyway !
    It’s fantastic to see you back!
    I have certainly missed you!

I've rebuilt the Packard 359 but almost terminal rust in the body is a problem. I have four other American vehicles here too. A 1948 V8 Ford F5 recovery truck, a 1949 P15 Plymouth Business Coupe, a 1940 Buick Super Eight and a 1953 Chevrolet 3800 box van It was you who got me enthralled with altered wheelbase cars All the best to you and your project Dodge

    I had a collection of 12 55, 56, 57 Thunderbirds. The 57 had a sharper tailfin than the 55 and 56. The 55 Thunderbird was a positive ground 6v system, where 56, 57 were 12v. All 3 can have the portal top and a convertible top. The convertible top stowed away behind the driver seat and it was an option as to what top or tops you got. In 56, the "Continental Tire Kit" was an option, which gave you the external tire and the different rear bumper to accommodate it. The rarest of the baby birds was the F coded supercharged and the E coded dual quad 312ci 57's.

    Lifelong fan of the Tri-Five Chevrolets here as well as the same year T-Birds. My favorite model of Chevy for ‘55 is the 210 Delray. Bel Air has a little too much glitz and the Delrays have the best looking interiors, IMO. But I do love the dash trim of the Bel Air with the Bow tie pattern.
