I purchased a 1955 Chevrolet 2-door onerous prime from a buyer at my dad’s fuel station. It was inexperienced with Nova bucket seats and a Corvette 283 engine. I used to be 20 years previous and educating myself to color on the time. I took off all of the chrome and began doing the physique work, however I had simply taken a job with the railroad. Life form of bought in the best way. I wasn’t house a lot, purchased a Harley and a 4×4, so I wasn’t engaged on the Bel Air quite a bit. One of my youthful brothers got here by at some point (he was driving a Corvair Spyder), checked out it and stated, “Darryl, sell me the 55.” I responded that it was now his.
This pushed me to lastly end the paint job: black Imron with flames. Now that the Bel Air was his, he took it to occasions and even received a number of automotive exhibits. In 1982 we went to the road rod nationals in LA, and this Bel Air ended up in 5 totally different scorching rod magazines. He nonetheless has the automotive, and I’ve to take a look at it each time I am going to his home. I wish to have it again now, together with the 1969 ‘Vette roadster, 1965 Olds 442, 1940 Ford Coupe, to call just a few.
