    I've always wanted a 56 and finally had the chance after I sold a couple of old tractors and vehicles. Solid car that was pulled out of a garage about 5 months ago after being drivin to Kentucky from California in 1985. Needs a set of tires and brake booster. master cylinder.

    Wow, what a nice ride. I can't wait to see it in person. You got to bring it to the Louisville/Lexington area so we can all drool on it. :) great find!
