original or fake?

This the only way I know of adding pictures. So you all can take your best guess.

 

Since it's Canadian Bacon, it cannot be compared to U.S. Models. You need a expert in Canadian Bacon.

 

I think its a real car.

 

looks like a real 55 with a 6 banger to me

 

Here now, forget the ? on the other post. I seen the steering wheel. 150 style.

 

Side mirror not correct and someone put a speaker in the package tray. The Dogdishes (hub caps) have the correct color, wht.

 

I just love these questions that ***ume that we know what "they' are talking about.

It looks like a 55 chevy that may or may not be an all original survivor. Is that the question?

 

Are we sure that it's a 6? I haven't seen any pics of the rear of the car.

 

Location of the radiator makes it a six.

 

I must have missed that pic.

 

The paint work appears around the rear window. The hood looks too clean to have survived that nicely. Roll the ***** out side and take some more pix new-bis bee.

 

Its a nice car. If its been re-done, it is a good job. Why get so worked up about it being original? Enjoy it , as is.

 

It's a 150 with 210 quarter stainless spear (the vertical "wing" coming off the long quarter trim is incorrect for a Sedan as it's from a Station Wagon).

If the car were a 210, it would have thin stainless beltline trim under the side windows, etc..

I think it's a repaint as I don't recall the factory painting that far onto the trunk floor...

 

I like all your comments so far keep them coming so I can build a case for my next encounter with the local pros. I'll contact a local car club and ask them questions based on your observations. The 567 club will be my next stop. I'll keep you all posted and will try to send more pictures. "Keep it between the ditches"

 

The trunk floor in my DelRay was completely painted (unmolested car with original paint).

A fellow that did some trim work for me a long time ago, did "warranty" work on tri-five Chevys in the mid-fifties. Considering that scenario, your interior could have been worked on way back when, and the changes could be enough to throw us all off.
You have a really nice car, there!

 

does a magnet stick to it all over? if so then its real

i can absolutly positivly say that yes at one point it was an original 55 chevy ,like 61 years ago

why does it matter now?

ifn ya dont like it shipp it to me id be more then happy to drive the wheels off it

 

it's fibergl***...

 

VIN will tell all. But the first post I didn't get until I read on. I dont think they are re-popping 55 2dr sedns. Any way VA is a V-8 "150" model Jus A is a 6 cyl. "150" model but most of you already knew that except fort the poster.

I'd pay $10K for it and they could keep the mirror and hub caps.

 

What's a fake 55 chevy ??? I am not aware of anyone other than GM making steel 2 door sedan bodies.

I don't think it is "original" never been touched, but I'd need to see the car in person to tell you for sure...I'll PM you my address so you can bring it by.....feel free to leave it for awhile....

 

That car is nice! It's gonna be fun to cut it up and turn it into a flat black g***er

 

61 years old! Don't make me older like that, I'm 60 born in 51
I used to see cars that nice all the time everyday, in 57!

 

whats all the fuss about,whats fake about it?????? buy it

 

who cares ?

 

in street rod magazine there was article i think last month of a company making them now in florida. 55-57 i think i read.

 

I thought the 150's had fixed back side gl***, looks like that has a window crank for the drivers side back gl***

 

Canadian cars are different than US cars.

I'll keep you all posted after I have contacted the local pro's.
