Hot Rods The 55 Chevy 210 two door sedan

The crickets are deafening!

 

I saw this on fb.

 

Uh..
Not belonging to FB, until now I didn't know what a Facebook gasser was.

 

Words escape me…

 

That will buff out!
Just happy to see activity here but that's a 55 that my wife would like.

 

I could fix that if it happened to be parked in my garage

 

Guys, I have made some progress. I set the body on the frame today.

 

A friend's dad had this one. It's still in the family.
Edit - please ignore the front wheel. This is the best pic I have that hides 'em.

 

Born Bel Air but now dechromed

 

Less is better sometimes. Nice.

 

Precisely why the two-ten is so attractive to me, never liked high maintainence girls.

 

This two-ten is local to me.

 

They're still out there!

 

So is herpes, but you see me going out and getting me some. Probably no frame or floors left in it.

 

That's the easy part, if the body is in reasonably good shape you're gold.
A friend of mine found a solid 55 two-ten body and built a full rectangular tube chassis for it, they make a great street driver, also make a killer race car too.

 

It is rough, but the last one I picked up needed it all(frame and floors) also. It was a little intimidating at first, but it wasn't a bad job after all the old rusty stuff was removed.

 

My dads 55 del ray

 

Really dig the DelRay interior!

 

Hello.......Hello.....Hellooo ooo!

 

I figure everyone's seen these by now, but they never get old. DDDel Ray interiors are fantastic.

Unlike some here I don't mind repeats, for any new arrivals they aren't repeats anyway.
Thanks for the bump.

 

That's why I have a bunch.....

 

Ron Thorpe's mild custom 55 speaks to me. And the 235/3 on the tree make it even better.

 

Very nice Russ.
Too bad the scribbling craps up the photo.
Hello Photoshop!
I think Brizio used that hubcap to make the aluminum wheels on his waaay cool copper 55. It's a shame they can't be posted on the HAMB, but you can Google it, I love it!

 

The car belongs to Ron Thorpe from the greater Baltimore area. He bought the car years ago, bone stock, off a used car lot and proceeded to add his custom touches. If I recall correctly, that's mostly original paint and the interior is the blue and white Del Ray style. I've been after him to sell it to me for years but he says I'd have to get past his son first. BTW, the wheel covers are stock 57 Caddy.

 

Cripes!
"Bone stock, off a used car lot"
Man, that's hard to fathom, I could understand it many years ago like 1975 but.........
I did go back and see the owners name you posted and edited my comment but did not hit save changes
Also, I apparently did not look close at those hubcaps, Brizio copied early 60's? Corvette hubcaps when designing his wheels.

 

Reposting this link for anyone who wants to know when their 55 rolled off of the assembly line.
