Features tri five chevys lets see em"

Minus 13f* so this is it

 

Govt. special fleet style order windowed delivery, should have I.D. tag confirming it.

 

Another self-appointed Gasser expert, no less Mickey Thompson Wheels:

 

In my humble opinion, that is the only way to “radius” a 56 or 57 rear wheel

 

I would very much like to see a picture of one of these, were they actually produced and sold? This is the first bit of evidence I've ever seen that those wheels aren't just a modern re-interpretation of a 12 spoke spindle mount.

 

Definitely have ten spokes. But is that where the similarity starts,..or ends?

 

Paint and Acc codes are stamped "SPL" rather than a standard number. It was a non standard green originally.

 

That's where it end's. Those have one flat layer of 10 spoke's. The new one's have 2 layer's of 5, offset and staggered to make them look like spindle mount's.

 

my high school car in the mid 70s.

 

Can you say " twisted frame/body"?

 

Has anyone heard about the 55 and 56 hood bird being outlawed in Europe, something about being a safety hazard for pedestrians, I recall reading about it many years ago.
I have been trying to find any aricles about it.



I kind of see their point!

 

Nice car, but I dig that hat!

 

Take from the this as you wish. My Father (parents arrived from Belgium to the US in 58) talked about it when I was young. It would have been around 70 71 when he mentioned it while washing his 66 Galaxy 500.

 

my $700 56 from 1968 !

 

My brothers old 55 Hot Rod. I did the flames. .

 

Saw this on the side of a carwash. My grandson in the photo.

 

Our 56 in front of a cool old 1950's Mt. View Motel.

 

My Mom 1957.

 

I've got a set of chrome reverse wheels for my '57 and I was planning to buy whitewalls for them but now looking at this, I think I might get blackwall tires. This '56 had a good look.

 

Pretty gal!....

 

Newly acquired ( January 5th). It has been sitting idle for a long time so it's not yet road worthy. I'm considering Halibrand wheels.

 

CONSIDERING!!!???
I haven't kept up but to get the real thing you may need to look for used ones, but I concur that would look really nice.
