Features tri five chevys lets see em"

The 409 nomad never got finished but 348 55 did

 

Good on ya' DDDenny... I'm another defender of the 210HT's - '55, '56 and '57. Funny enough I can point out three youtube personalities that have gotten '57 210 HT's in the past couple of years and have been quick to put Belair features on them instead of celebrating their uniqueness and comparative rarity as 210 HT's. Oh well... Good to know I'm not alone...

Damn that is nice!

 

The faded green 57 that had an attached link. The link I believe was the cause for deletion.

 

It was the engine that was my concern, just dig'n the car, I didn't read the text so missed the callout on the wheels.

I dislike those "gasser" front wheels as much as @moriarity does but I wish I was on the money making side of them.

 

Doh!
I do that regularly!

 

I don't understand the usage of those wheels on the "gassers". They are not that period correct. If you look at old A/G cars, many of them ran Cragar spokes or some other wheel.
I have to give kudos to @Moriarity though, His stuff is seriously period correct.

 

I think what happened is that when the retro "gasser" fad came in, about 20 years ago. lots of builders, both young and old, didn't get what the real deal was about. Along came a marketing genius and called the fake 10 spokes "gasser" wheels, and there you go.
I still wonder, when I see them, if the builder really didn't know, or they think we don't know.

 

All it takes is ONE... the rest will follow!!

 

I had a thought
What if those bolt on "spindle mount" wheels were banned from all forms of automotive use, where would they be useful..........hypothetically thinking of coarse.

 

Or a hose reel, maybe...

 

Or, a '57......

 

Now, when it comes to 55's, I'm more of a two-ten guy but this photo of a one-fifty is pretty cool.

 

I don't know... she's looking at the missing stainless on the windshield and smirking 'No, not my next sugar daddy...'

 

I've scrolled past this one many times and thought it looked odd, maybe just the camera angle, decided to look into it, seems this guy thought GM should have continued the "utility sedan" look of the 53 in the 55's.

Looks terrible

 

Just read the link. He may have gotten his dream however the curve of the 1/4 glass transition to door glass is terrible.

 

Could be worse!

 

Harley Earl is flipping in his grave!

 

This is just an opinion so don't get upset but the bolt on 10 spoke wheels are the same as wire wheel hubcaps to me, trying to be something that they are not.
