    Nice touch to an otherwise plain Jane. Looks nice.

    It's this kind of thinking that keeps us going, keep pushing we're behind you.

    Now there's a car with some history!
    I saw it some years ago, when it re-emerged at the Detroit Autorama, and was surprised to see the rear wheel wells restored back to stock (after their previous, nicely done radius, as seen here in the 1980 movie "Hollywood Knights").

  11. Ain't that the way it goes? Drive all the way to Michigan to bring home a rusty '55 and two days later I find these right in my own back yard! IMG_1923[2894].jpg IMG_1928[2889].jpg IMG_1932[2884].jpg

    Not to worry....A hardtop '55 is still a nice piece!
    I particularly like this one that Sancho posted...
    Check those flared fender skirts!

    I would bet this car had wide whites and chromes or different wheel covers before the skinny whites and wire caps.

    Looks to me like you were right, 1Shot. The early version screams "Watson"!
    (And chrome wheels, too! ;))
