My Dad definitely got us into '55 Chevy's.

In 1975, Dad bought what is now my '55 for $60. (Yellow one in a few of the pictures) Flat towing home from Missouri behind a green '55 that Dad's friend bought on the same trip, a rear axle bearing went bad on the yellow car, so they changed the whole housing with one from a junkyard along side the road. The '60 Impala 4dr hardtop was Dad's car they drove down, and left it at a junkyard, trading it for a door for my uncle's 63 Impala.

Dad always wanted to build it into an American Graffiti replica, but never finished it. I bought it from him in 2017.
Needless to say, we're all 3 excited to see the American Graffiti and Two Lane Blacktop cars at MCACN in a few weeks!
