Hot Rods Going to pick this up on Friday

After years of fitful progress on project cars, start, stop, sell, I’m grabbing one that basically needs nothing more than maintenance. The paint isn’t the best, but it is the original lacquer finish. The bones of this car are unbelievable, it has always been very well taken care of. It’s a 150 sedan and so far as I can see the only option it has are the electric wipers for which I am grateful. This thing even has the complete original jack and spare. Naturally it’s a bare bones everything else, 235 and a three on the tree. It has one of the nicest survivor interiors I’ve ever seen. I’ll post more pictures when I get it back to my place.

 

I see a four speed in your future.

 

T5 maybe?

 

Are you sure it's a 150? Looks like a 210 to me, with the side trim and horn ring. Granted, I'm no expert on tri-fives, but when I was in high school in the late fifties, both my girlfriend's father's car and the school Driver's Ed car were 150's and neither one had any side trim at all. That being said, that's a fine lookin' example, and trust me, they look a lot better with the trim.

 

I agree, this looks like a 210, if it is a 150, a lot of stuff has been changed on it.

Either way, looks like a real nice car, one that I should be kept away from.

 

You know what, it is a 210. It was advertised as a 150 and I just didn’t think about it. I did drive it and give it a thorough going over condition wise, I just never thought about the trim level.

 

No matter how you cut it, it's a product of the 50's when Style was King and performance was on the Upswing. This looks like it will be a cool little cruiser, Enjoy!!

 

Congrats

 

Good start.

 

Enjoy!

 

Guess she'll get the mink

 

She got hers first, believe me.

 

Now, that looks like fun. Congrats man.

 

A well preserved gem
Congrats

 

Congrats.

 

What a beauty!! I’d drive it!!!

 

That's just a nice little go for a burger cruiser as is. I wouldn't do a thing outside of going over the safety list and the usual just bought it maintenance things and go cruising.

 

There was a time in my life where I would scoff at a 4 door .... those days are gone. You have a really clean 55. I can picture it with a stock 275 hp 327 hooked to the three on the tree with 2 1/4 "dual exhaust with glasspacks.

 

Congratulations Ted!

That is a beauty. Be safe on your trip & enjoy it for a long time. I had a 56 Pontiac 4 door sedan & cruised it for 5 years...Loved every minute of it.

God Bless

Congrats - real nice car - kindly keep it as it is - just my opinion - be safe in yer travels

 

She’s a beauty, congratulations

 

Looks great. I wouldn't change a thing, just drive the wheels off it.

 

What a gem! Hope it ain't a long trip to get it, I wouldn't be sleeping right till she's in the garage.

 

It's a Survivor, and it appears it has been lovingly cared for over the years, Congratulations. HRP
