Anyone know the history of this car. I found an article on the car, Car Craft July 1956, but details were slim. Looking to do research on the car to see if it can be located.
That’s it. Thank You. I have a few pics of it but I cannot attach them. The only article I found was in July 1956 and I do not think it mentioned the driveline.
...There are excellent tutorials, including one which explains how to attach images, in the Questions and Suggestions section.
I'm not sure @tim troutman . The rear wheel openings are different, but..... Can you post the marketplace link?

Hey guys, I actually picked this thing up from Dick and Mary Anderson of carerra race shocks. It is the Bob bean Victoria. I’ve been tracking history and slowly working on getting it back on the road since the spring. I spoke to another prior owner who owned it in the early 70s (original 56 configuration) and last saw it in 82 at a show, it had a nailhead at that point. It was requartered and the hood Louvered at some point in the late 70s and painted in lacquer. It was purchased by Dick in 1996 from a gentleman in Michigan. At that point it had a 1954 olds 324 and the original 3 speed with a Fenton shifter. He drove the car until 2002 when he blew up the trans, it got put on the 4 post lift and sat until I bought it. Story goes someone broke into the shop and stole the motor off the lift. It was an experience to say the least. The shop was literally on the top of a mountain in north Georgia and hadn’t been anything but a junk hoarders haven for 15 years or more. It was a mess. Literal miracle that we were able to get this thing off the lift and the brakes weren’t locked up. The road to the shop was a 15% grade and a 1/4mile long and 8’ wide up the side of the mountain. Probably the only savings grace of it being stuck on the lift is the mice didn’t get to it terribly. Some upholstery damage but nothing terrible. I just plan on getting it running and driving and enjoying it.
