Bought one of my dream cars, a ´55 Chevy

I´ve wanted a ´55 chevy since I can remember, and finally I have bought one.
It was late summer/early fall last year and I was just looking on craigslist for fun, then I saw a ad for this car and I fell in love!
A friend who has bought cars from USA on previous occasions helped make the deal, and fixed with the shipping to Sweden. Then I had to wait for a couple of months for the car to finally arrive.
First I have to get it registrated here in Sweden and when that is done I will make some changes to it to get the style I want.

Here it is in the snow waiting to come into it´s new garage, poor car that had to come from Texas to this cold snowy place.

 

great car
love to see it one time in vasteras

 

Looks like a nice car, gonna be really nice with that blower on it!

 

Great looking 55. Looks like you have a kick ass collection going.

 

Very Very nice !!!!!!! Congrats.

 

Was the burnout in the garage done by you or was that the previous owners pic?

 

Nice! I wish I had never sold my Nomad (30 years ago)

 

There´s nothing like an indoor burnout cough, hahaha
Nice car, I like where this is going!

I see you already have the tires worn in

 

Thanks guys!
I made the burnout, thats the same day as we unloaded the container. It was my friend that helped me with everything that forced me to do it...
I´m going the gasser inspired way with it, but it will be street driven so I thought I would name it The Poser.
But when I looked over the car when I got it to my garage I saw that there is mounts for leaf springs welded to the frame.

 

Looks like a good one, nice score.

 

NICE, I have always liked the 55. I had a 57 about 10 years ago and although I knew it was iconic and what everyone else likes ( my brother drooled all over it every time he came over ) I always wanted a 55 instead.

 

congratulations on your new ride, a very nice looking ride i might add.

 

Good purchase,and nobody forced you to do the burnout,you just couldn"t resist.Nice shop with nice cars.

 

Very nice

 

Good lookin car have fun.......

 

You better not let that thing rust away out there.

 

Very nice. Do you have any plans apart from what is on the floor?

 

Nice 55. Enjoy it when the snow is gone.

 

Race toward the Halls of Valhalla!

 

Nice 55, I drove one in high school, loved it.

 

A GREAT start on a Gasser style '55...

 

I had a 56 nomad always wanted the 55 nomad just havnt found the right one yet. Like your ride congrats!

 

Nice score! enjoy the ride, but be careful. 55 Chevy's are addictive, I've had mine for 38 years!

 

Very nice....good for you !!
I love those 55's with the rear wheel wells cut out...
Keep us posted !

 

sighhhh.... someday i'll have one too

 

Great car. I am glad it is getting such a nice home, keep us updated on the changes you make.

 

That sounds fun

Wear you a cowboy hat and keep the Texas tag on it! That a Boy!
