    I'll just have my dinner served on your floor.:D

    Road Knights are a local Detroit area car club and one of the founding car clubs of the Michigan Hot Rod Assoc. Did the car come from Michigan??

    Nice car, nice garage:cool:

    Wow. Beautiful. That color of blue is perfect for that car.

    So what's the history on the car? How long has it been a Kustom? (Apparently a while with all the vintage trophies and all...) How long has it looked like that (that color, those particular mods, etc.)?

    I am not normally a fan of wildly customizing a 55 Chev, but that car is really FINE!!! Love the color combo.

    Every car I had years ago was painted Oldsmobile Ultramarine Blue and that color looks just like it. Absolutely stunning with the white interior.

    Please post a bunch more pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Since the late 50's.. whole story was on eBay, was a Washington State car if I remember right.

    Man, that garage is nicer than the living room in this house.

    Mark, you should be honored for all the work you do perserving our history. I know it's hard and takes all your energy, but you must keep at it.

    They should put you on a stamp or something.

    Great car by the way.

    That's the most perfect '55, ever.

    I think I'd have to swap the smoothies for some "real" chrome steel wheels though. ;) :D

    Man, that is just phenomenal. Congratulations!
