Projects Finally throwing the blankets off

Don't know how many of you saw the '64 El Camino custom I got back on the road for a widowed member of our car club, but finally delivered it back to her today. Even more interesting than the Elco are the other customs tucked away in various locations on her property. We've uncovered the '57 Belair below, a '54 Merc custom and '54 Chev custom with a Carson top.
First up....

 

That 57 is so cool, love it

 

Not sure about the headlights but I’ve always thought that the ‘57 Buick grille was a great choice for ’57 Chevys. Very cool.

 

nice 57..

 

Thats really neat!

 

You see that '57 in the mirror, it's sayin "I'm cross-eyed and crazy so get outta my way".

 

That's got to be theKOOLIST 57 I have ever seen...............

 

54 Buick headlights, and what looks like 58 Cad taillights.

 

Here's a couple pics of the '54 Chev. Removable top, SBC with 3 deuces. She says she wants to keep this one (and the Nova and El Camino), but I explained to her to keep what she'll drive and maintain and sell the rest. Let others enjoy them instead of them rotting from inattention.
Now to see if I can find the pics of the '54 Merc...

 

I like that 57 with the canted headlights and Buick grille!

 

Just wondering if that '54 top was made out of a '54 sedan delivery, shape is very close. Bob

 

Unfortunately, no way to know now. That info went with the husband when he passed...

 

Nice cars good on you for helping her. Lippy

 

Wow! That is one kool 57!

 

Oh man Im into that 57 too !!

And some '54 Merc.

 

I like the Merc too!

 

Good on ya for helping her out! Good karma coming your way.
Dig the 57. Would like to see it on steelies with period full wheel covers such as Lancers or Fiestas.

 

There you go. I could see myself cruising in that Merc.

 

So, is she selling the 57 and the Merc? I didn’t see them in the keep list.

 

We've talked through her letting go of the 57, the 54 Chev and the Merc.

 

Good deal and good on you for helping her work through it all.

 

Thanks for sharing - tough for Family members to know exactly what to do with cars, etc of those that have passed on

 

Looks like you created a sweet custom, I love it! HRP

 

Nice customs!
Typical theme, but always nice to see something just a little different.

And as said, very nice of you to help out someone who needs it. More than just helping her to sell the cars, you're lending your trusted experience and your friendship in helping her to know that it's okay to let them go. The right thing to do, even.

 

Here`s a crappy scan of the 57 at the KKOA show in Lancaster Ohio in 2002. It`s the same color as posted earlier.

 

Yup, back when it had Belair trim and taillights.

 

Quite the collection!
