The stupidest thing anybody has said about my car was said by my sister. I was on day 3 of working on her car, installing parts that I bought because she could not afford them and doesn't know there is a problem with her vehicles untill something won't work. She comes up and says "So are you ever going to work on your '55 (I have a '56)? You should just sell it, you are never going to finish it". My response shall not be repeated .

The runner up was some random older guy, back when I could drive my car.
Guy: What is that?
Me: 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air.
Guy: Chevy didn't make cars in '56.
Me: Really? Why is that?
Guy: That is why you always see "1955 dash 1957". They didn't make them in '56 because of the war. You must have a '55 because the '57 four doors were all hardtops.
At that point I walked away .

The oddest thing was a sweet little old lady. She walked up and said "Nice '56 Chevy. My son was conceived in that car." and then she walked away .
