Re: How about some pics of 47-59

The latest shot of my '55, done yesterday.

Lots and lots of work yet to be done but at least she's driveable, reliable albeit up on her tippy toes and it takes King Kong arms to steer it.

Here is my friends 1950 GMC. It's a really solid truck to begin restoration. It runs good.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Really? I was gonna guess Chevrolet Polo Green. Is that a House of Kolor color? A production car color?

It's actually a House of Kolor color that was mixed at Sherwin Williams, but it was done very nice. It looks even better in person, then again, green would be my favorite color, so I'm biased.
