    Does any one know what happened to that 57 in the video "on the wings of a nightingale"? I heard there were two, thats how they got the car done so fast. Because, by the end of the song, it's done. HA!, It's a bad joke I know. But seriously, does any one have any idea?

    Everly Bros, who are they? Seriously, is there a video link that you can post on here to let us see what you are referring to? I doubt that I can add anything, but I grew up with the EB's and would love to see what you are talking about. Thanks in advance, Lou

    I thought it looked pretty cool the way it was. Then they painted it another color and went with those wheels. I remember seeing that video when I was really young and thinking one day, I will have a car like that. But, now I am older and realize that convertibles are not nearly as cool as roadsters.

    If you believe any of that video, I've got some good deals for you...a NY bridge and some ocean front property.

    Yeah, highly unbelievable. However, does anyone know what happened to it? Hopefully it's still on the road.

    I think that car is still in the same condition and belongs to a Cl***ic Chevy Club member from Tennessee. I remember reading an article in the club magazine.
    perhaps Hendersonville Tn. ??
    Will try to look it up.

    Wonder when they changed the front seats? The video has them in a 60/40 seat but the magazine has a black covered front seats that appear to be buckets. It is the car though. Good to find out who owned it. Thanks for all your help. BTW The Alan Jackson song was called someday. They originally wanted a convertible, but settled for a hardtop.

    The wire wheels are different and the car in the video has a stock grille. Thought I may have seen a flash of a toothed grille though. :confused:

    The first car in the video had the stock grille, the second car in the video is the one posted above.
