Since I am a 65 Chevelle guy, is that a prototype el camino / conv, big block. I assume a concept rendering. Looks great, and the boat too.
Without a metal strip on top of the windshield, no wind wings and snaps on the top edge of the door I’m thinking it’s a roadster.... what a find today if it’s out there...
1954/55 I was 6/7 years old and I started my first business going around neighborhood with my radio flyer coaster wagon (lived in city, West Allis, then Milwaukee) collecting pop bottles/ milk bottles around once a week. If memory serves pop bottles 2 cents per, small milk bottles 5 cents, big ones 15 cents. My parents most likely gave me the idea, both were from the depression era, around 10 or so I started cutting grass with the rotary wheel blade push lawn mower, when I had saved up enough cash, Dad took me to Sears and we purchased a gas powered mower, then that enterprize took off, city lots 30' x 90' minus house/garage, in winter shoveling snow for many of my grass customers, when snow real deep Dad would help me after his day factory job, paperboy 12- 16, bought my first car at 15 + and drove it on my 16th birthday paid for all this with cash I saved up. The HAMB brings up great memories from my youth, became a tradesman, started my Tool & Die shop at 26, was in business till 62 when I closed and retired. My parents gave me the encouragement to think for myself, how to be independent, I've said many times I'm a Lucky man. Am coffee, the HAMB, memories, Life is good.
