Sign in front of a service statin in 1955 that breaks down the price of gas. I worked at a filling station in 1956 and we did NOT make 4-cents per...
I think '53 to '56 frames are essentially the same.
OK! A second original frame! So you can drive it while you're working on the modifications. I misunderstood and thought you might be...
