Anyone ever own a purple '55 Chevy in the late '60s?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by HotRod28AR, May 4, 2008.

  1. '55 210 sedan (post) purple with white pinstriping everywhere, follwing the trim, window edges etc... Probably late '60s... If you did or know someone who did let me know the details! I'm still back-tracking the history of my car and I have no leads beyond the early '70s... Thanks,

  2. Good luck on your search..... was that always a Conn. car? Or at least New England?
     
  3. I know it spent at least a great deal of it's life in Virginia...

  5. Not when it was purple, but here's a shot of it from around 1975 when it was yellow/silver...

  13. chopt55bc- thats the car and thats me in the video! I believe I spoke with you the other night about the 'A coupe. The deal on the car I was selling the coupe to buy fell through so I decided I would just be better off building the coupe this winter. I'll see you out there,

  15. Bump... Still looking for history on this car prior to the 70's. In addition to being painted purple/pinstriped at one time, it also appears to have been painted red at another time. There is also some traces of gold paint around the door window frames. Original factory color was a medium/light blue.
