    That picture was taken at the KKOA all custom nationals in Hannibal Mo. I think it was around 1989 or 1990, pretty small show, maybe 50 cars...man, I wish I had that stuff back. Those were the nicest Fiesta caps I have ever seen and the 6 x 2 manifold was a Mcgurk

    Gotta wonder if this is ONE OF THREE gold 55 BelAir hardtops built.
    Any more information, what says you @Moriarity

    This gold dragster was apparently M/T's.

    Waited the majority of my almost 60 years to finally have my '55. Saved it from its almost 50 year slumber in the Santa Cruz mountains from the daughter of the original owners.

    Hello,

    Pete Garramone was responsible for the historic photo from the early 60s of the gold Dragmaster and 55 Chevy. His photos are plastered all over the HAMB in various topics.

    Outstanding work, Pete…
