Projects So damn happy - Drove the '52 to work today!

I was able to drive my 1952 Chevy Styleline Deluxe to work for the first time today. She howls like a banshee, the rear end was bone dry until a couple of days ago... but she bounces along nicely at 65 on the freeway.



Everything works on this car... the radio, the dash lights, the clock... the dome light even comes on when you open the door.

crazy!

The plan is to drive it this summer as it - then the new driveline!

NICE! Great job!

 

That's a great feeling. And it's Friday to boot!

 

That awesome. What feeling to be able to drive your hot rod for the first time.Now come up with an illness and go cruising this afternoon!!!

 

Nothing like that feeling!!!! That is great!

 

163 is beautiful this time of year. I agree with Yankbuilt. You dont look so good, I think a drive would help. Probably some rightous exaust note and a little wind will be all you need.
Trust me I play doctor.

 

Congrats! I know the feeling

 

Its a great feeling for sure. I'm jelous none of the stock interior worked on my 51 or my 60!

 

Congrats bud, very cool!

 

No Video!?
Congrats. Thats always the best feeling.

 

congratulations. Always nice to add that "comfort" level in the back of your head.

Its all downhill from here!

No pun intended

 

Congrats! I know the feeling

 

thanks guys - wish I could skip out on work today, its way too nice out to be working!

Nice one, I did the exact same thing this morning with my '50! Still in need of plenty of adjustments but with a warm sunny morning I couldn't resist. It's parked out front and I'm not getting much work done!

 

great deal holmes. Its always fun to cruise your cl***ic around

 

Life is Good Congrats. Worked on mine all winter. Nothing like that first drive. Enjoy it. Gus

 

Congrats, I love driving my cars to work on Fridays, makes the day become the start of the week-end. Enjoy.

 

very cool - congrats

 

yeah, I almost went straight to the beach, not much of a road trip though.. only 3 miles to the ocean from work!

- Joe

 

Aw, yeah! Fridays are for driving the special ones. I drove the '69 Midget today. It's not at all special, but the '58 is in transition, not running and third in line on my schedule. Good on you that you could take baby for some exercise.

Edit: spellung

 

Wow James, that is a nice looking 50!

 

bad*** dude. thumbs up for the pics and having the balls to put it on a so cal highway.

whats the upgrade plans? i just did a 235 in mine and what a world of difference.

 

250. Powerglide. 12 volt. Rear end with maybe 3:55s. Upgrade the brakes in the front.. Lower it to the tops of the whitewall white - and drive, drive, drive!

That 6 is beautiful...now that I work at home I can't do the Friday cruise though I often jump into the Riviera or the dearly departed panel truck and cruise into town for a couple of tacos...
