Here are a couple pictures of the 55. In case you didn't read the whole thread I will tell you that this is the same 55 Bel Air that I built as a senior in high school in 1987 with my dad. I even drove it to my senior prom. We sold the car in 1990-1 regrettably. It was always the one that got away for me. So in 2006ish I started looking for it. It took until the fall of 2015, but I finally found it in Florida. The drivetrain had been changed, but the entire body, paint, pinstriping and interior are 100% the same as we did 30 years ago! I probably had a better chance of winning Lotto than finding the very same car in almost the exact condition as when we sold it. It will NEVER leave my possession again I can assure you of that.
The car was built with an early 60's ild custom style to it.
Here is on the way to prom in 1987......
And here it is from this summer.
