Sorry guys, the car is in fact a '56. (Check the rear license plate.) Leroy DID buy the car in late '55 like I said and I typoed (?) '55 later in my posting.
The front wheels are early, early Ford items. Strangely, we noticed them as well and recalled they were the same as the ones on Danny Lomelino's car pictured below. We're thinking they're late 20's Ford items, but the ones on Leroy's
'56 have been plated.
