Exactly like the one in the picture below except a post in between the front and rear side windows, like the 56' in the above post. Red and black interior and that black paint was something special. Absolutely beautiful.

Any of the 55'...56'....and 57' chevy's were winners. Don't make them like that anymore. Had a high school friend that had a bronze and white 56'....just incredible.

My dad has a all numbers matching 55 in his garage that I remember riding in to my grandparents every week back in the 60's. It's not been touched in 40+ years now and needs a complete restoration, but I'm about done with taking on projects like that anymore.

Happy early birthday. You're far older than me, as I was born in December of that year. :chuckle:
