I have always loved 55 Post cars!

In fact, I'm now building a 210 post that I should have finished up real soon. A frame off restoration of an old throw back street machine! Black & white exterior with a stout little 500hp small block, a 5-Speed TKX with 2:87 1st gear, Moser 4:11 posi and lots of goodies all around. That and it's getting a black & white Delray interior to match. It should make for a real fun street car.

Double click the picture for a high def view of the car!!!

Hey...does anyone have an extra room blocked for MCACN. I tried getting a room last month but that proved to be a bit too late. Would love to go if I can pick up a room from someone?

Thanks...Graeme

There are rooms available at the Leows and the aLoft, which are both just a few blocks away and also at the Sonesta, which is a few miles away with free shuttle service.

There MAY be one or two at the Hyatt.

My '55. Not sure how it's going to turn out, but one thing for sure, it's going to have a clutch pedal and a 4 speed in it. I've got a 327 built for it for now, and I'm building a 12 bolt that I narrowed to fit. It's probably going to have a big block some day.

Straight-axle '55 in the BG was first blue/metallic silver "327" (everything was in quotes then) on Americans, then red/white on rallye's, as pictured - 454 LS-6 - surprised a few!

'55 show and tell...
Some here may remember my recent thread on cousin Paul's "Original Paint Original Owner '65 Corvette." Paul purchased this 150 post in HS, 1958. '60's style custom, including a Tijuana tuck and roll, done about 1962 while stationed in San Diego.

Since he has passed away recently I may be posting a FS thread at some point.
