    Not just for Gentleman... Don't forget Annette Funicello had a Watson painted '57. Unfortunately it was restored back to stock.

    A convertible that looks good with the top up. Great amount of engine setback from the factory, also.

    Shameless plug - I inherited a nice '57 that I can't bring with me to New Zealand. Well I could, but I already imported 3 cars and a WLA Harley and I am out of space and $ for my car toys. The car is still in my Dad's shop outside of Austin. Check out the ad here on the HAMB .....
