Cool old photos.

So how many '55 Chevies did your dad own?
First photo look like a BelAir.
Second photo looks like a 210.

Of course you know I love the '57 Wagon.

Thanks for sharing with us.

 

no problamo. i got a TON more to be scanned, just need some time to scan them and post them! haha.

RJ, my dad has owned a TON of tri-5 chevies, 55-6-7. one of his first vehicles was a '57 210 4 door sedan, 6cyl & a 3 on the tree he got for $10 that his friends drove around in the woods when he was like 9 cheaper than a dirtbike! haha. we only have pics of mabe 1/6 of what he's owned, it alwready takes up 3 photo albums

 

Cool.

I met a guy once who claimed he'd owned 49 '55-6-7 Chevies before. He tried to tell me he'd owned my first car at one time, but I knew better.

 

IDK 'bout 49 of 'em, haha, but he's always had a thing for the tri-five cars, so he's had a bunch. my guesstimate would be around 25-30 differant ones, some parts cars, some drivers, some hot rods, you know the gig after we bought our currant bellair wagon we bought a parts-car bellair wagon for $100, minus the nose but with the hood, no bumpers and very rotted. no pics of that one, but it was an original pink & white car too.

 

who wait i just looked up the inspection laws if a vehicle came with working windows in the doors and they dont work it fails if the car was never desiened for windows in the doors it should have passed inspection. it is a shame that your family got rid of it because it would be great for a resto job with you and your family.

 

problem was that truck was designed for windows in the doors, but the PO's ex-girlfriend smashed them out before we bought it. we had an "in" with the inspection guy 'till he retired. the guy that took over would not pass it. kinda sucks, we were gonna keep it but we had way too much stuff at the time ( around 25 vehicles, haha) so we had a few things listed for sale and one of the buyers also made an offer we couldint refuse on the panel. such is life, we still have our '49 international KB1 short wheelbase panel truck awaiting a resto ( one of the last pics is a rear shot of it BTW)

 

Cool pics Ryan. Thanks for sharing!

I was going to ask if that was you in the one picture also.

Great topic. You successfully flushed out RJ! LOL.
