My dad was interested in a 55 chevy when he was in jr high. asked the old lady about it and she said no cause one of her kids was going to restore it. never happened. one day a friend of ours was out helping his brother in law get two old cars model A fords mabye? out of a field and the owner came up to them. they didn't know who owned the field just that they had permission to get the cars. well the guy asks if they would be interested in a 55 chevy. of course he said yes. when he went to get the car come to find out it was the same one that dad looked at all those years ago. we got lucky on it cause the friend didnt have time to restore it so we ended up with it. we've had it for prolly 5 years or better and havn't touched it yet. but this summer dad is building a shop and it is the next project after we finish my truck.
