[b] Turns out I do have a picture of the '56 - that's me - leaning on it like I own it!

I also found the window sticker for the '62 - it is tough to make out in the scan, but the total price
is $3891.40. It's interesting that the '62 only cost $450 more then the '56!

To finish the story - On June 11, 1975 my father went to Mc Veigh Chevy to buy an end of production
'75 Caprice convertible. It was loaded, 400 - 4 bbl, a/c, power everything, am/fm tape - the works. Unfortunately when they submitted the order the factory came back and said -
Sorry no more orders after June 10th and would not make the car.

So with no more convertibles being made he decided to keep the Torino as a Sunday car and a month
or two later he ordered a '76 Elite as Mom's driver. It was a pretty cool car, white with blue leather,
and that blue half vinyl roof. Oh yeah it had a 460 - 4 bbl, C-6 and turbine wheels. It cooked!
